Saito Hiroyuki was born in Yamaguchi Prefecture in 1961. After studying at Tokyo University of the Arts, he received a scholarship from the French government to study at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Since then, while continuing his artistic production based in Tokyo, he has exhibited widely. His works express his unique world using familiar materials such as plaster and wire mesh, with everyday landscapes and small events as motifs.

Saito's works are characterized by a delicacy that can be felt beyond words and the universal beauty latent in everyday landscapes. His creative process reflects inspiration drawn from daily life and an exploration of the potential inherent in the materials themselves.

Through the series of works that Saito has continued to depict as "As if maintaining an ordinary temperature. Like a diary...", this exhibition offers an opportunity to rediscover the universality and beauty inherent in our daily lives and familiar landscapes. We invite you to visit this exhibition and experience the world woven by Mr. Saito's works, encountering new discoveries and emotions along the way.
