The artist was born in 1983 in Shizuoka and presently lives and works in Tokyo.
His debut exhibition, presented when the artist was 19 years old and curated by Kiki Kudo for Yasu Gallery, was titled "Stolen Diary".
Usui's mentor, Makoto Aida, has since invited him to participate in a number of group exhibitions. In 2007, Usui had his second solo exhibition, his first with Mujin-to production, "Sunday Remains". His work examines traditional Japanese imagery from an alternative perspective. Future activities by this 24 year-old artist are much anticipated.

Dale Berning was born in 1977 in South Africa. The artist is presently based in London. Whether making drawings, music or performances, Berning draws upon an understanding of folk music and fieldwork and the resulting aesthetic consequences of decontextualization when such source material is re-presented within an art context.

Wood, Paint |
Lotte Lyon utilizes common materials which it is possible to secure in sites such as Home Center in conjunction with vivid colors to create minimal sculpture with maximum effect and a minimum amount of work. The sculpture has the appearance of designed furniture but is not in any way functional; this is the artist's intent. In Lyon's photographs objects are easy to read; solid and bright in color. |
