Daisuke Miyatsu

Collector

From Early childhood, Miyatsu was obsessed of visual art. He loved the traditional Japanese art, Seison Maeda during elementary, idolized Rosanjin Kitaohji during Junior high, and had discoveredAndy Warhol in his high school years. Eventually, this lead to his his awakening in contemporary art.

Miyatsu started his collection eith the acquisition of a work by Yayoi Kusama. His collection has spread to include works mainly by same-generation artists. Among with Dominique Gonzales Forestel and Michihiro Shimabuku, Miyatsu began the "Dream House " project in 1999. Currently Miyatsu resides and works towards its completion.

Miyatsu's collection has been exhibited by Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery's "Why Not Live For Art?" in 2004. Also from April through July this year, part of his collection was featured amongst a Japanese and Korean collectors' exhibition "Collection 2 --Collector's Choice"

Kohichi Tabata 「Resolution」

Antenna 「Advent of Jappy」

An Jungju 「The Bottle」

Outstanding artworks that trigger my desire for collection share the abilities to
sharply reveal a slice of reality, to communicate universal and fundamental meanings, and to remind us of overlooked emotions and senses in the everyday life.
I hope you get a sense of those abilities through the 3 works that I recommend for the occasion.
