Shugo Satani, the owner of ShugoArts, one of the best art galleries to explore at Art Basel Hong Kong 2019 , has been working on defining distinctive movements in Japanese and Asian art scenes since the 1980s after becoming independent from Satani Gallery, another interesting gallery in Tokyo from the 1970s, which was operated by his father Kazuhiko Satani.

Since its opening in Tokyo in 2000, ShugoArts has been representing artists such as Masato Kobayashi and Shigeo Toya who seek their own ways of expression by redefining principles of painting and sculpture in Japan after Gutai and Mono-ha.

The art gallery is also excited to represent artists in their 30s such as Masaya Chiba and Lee Kit who have tried to expand the field of painting. ShugoArts opened its new space in Roppongi, in the fall of 2016 and remains active on international showcases such as Art Basel.
