Exhibitions | MAKI Gallery | MAKI

MAKI Gallery is pleased to present Deliver to Your Soul, Japanese artist Koichiro Takagi’s second exhibition with the gallery, at Tennoz I, Tokyo. Born in Tokyo in 1974, Takagi moved to San Francisco after university to study silkscreen printing, then went on to pursue a painting career while working as a studio assistant in New York. Since his return to Tokyo in 2005, he has developed a unique visual lexicon combining embroidery, printmaking, and traditional painting techniques. Deliver to Your Soul features approximately 30 examples from his most recent body of work, including those which fuse the artist’s ongoing references to religion and counterculture with motifs relating to postal correspondence.

We invite you to step inside Takagi’s eclectic world, where conflicting elements such as highbrow and lowbrow, classical and contemporary, and faith and doubt collide, while simultaneously echoing the yearning within us all to forge intimate bonds with others.
