GALLERY MoMo Projects is pleased to present Interlogue vol.1, the first installment of an exhibition series initiated by the legacy of a collector, on view from January 24 to February 21, 2026.
This exhibition series comprises works from several sources: the collection of a long-time supporter of the gallery, who consistently visited and cherished its exhibitions; the collection of the gallery’s owner, who was also a collector; and works by artists represented by the gallery. Rather than presenting these collections all at once, the series unfolds over multiple exhibitions, carefully tracing shared interests, perspectives, and points of resonance among the works. By bringing together works by diverse artists, the exhibition explores a space in which the inside and outside of the collection gently intersect.
This exhibition features works by Yui Yaegashi, Masaaki Yamada, and Gen Yamanaka.
Yui Yaegashi has worked primarily in painting, visualizing emotions and subtle fluctuations of time embedded in everyday life through delicate color and composition. Her paintings combine precise depiction with areas of openness, questioning the act of seeing itself and offering viewers room for imagination.
Masaaki Yamada, one of the leading abstract painters of postwar Japan, devoted himself over many decades to painting series such as Work. The surfaces he constructed through repetition and continuity are traces of a rigorous engagement with the act of painting itself, and are highly regarded as works that embody time and spirituality.
Gen Yamanaka, working mainly in woodblock prints and drawings, has expressed fundamental images related to dreams, memory, nature, life, and death through tranquil and symbolic compositions. Positioned between figuration and abstraction, his imagery quietly speaks to the inner lives of viewers, transcending personal experience.
Although the three artists differ in generation and artistic context, they share a sustained engagement with “seeing,” “time,” and “inner experience” through painting. Centered on these universal themes, the exhibition brings forth a quiet resonance among the works.
The title Interlogue is a coined term combining Inter and Dialogue. It signifies the beginning of a dialogue that emerges between works, between narratives, and serves as an entry point through which a collection is passed on to the next moment in time. For a gallerist, the exhibition is also a source of joy in being able to introduce artists who are not often shown in the gallery’s program. At the same time, it is conceived as a space to be shared with visitors, where one can experience how works respond to one another and give rise to new relationships. We warmly invite you to visit the exhibition.
