Gallery ColonB(:b)

Since opening its doors in 2017, “Gallery ColonB” has been planning and producing exhibitions of various genres, ranging from fine art works such as paintings and sculptures to crafts, digital, and fashion exhibitions. Regardless of the genre, the exhibitions reflect the artist’s struggles. Through asceticism, the work was completed with skillful and refined brushstrokes, unique sensibility, deep thinking, and bold attempts and experiments. And the publishing business began in 2022.
ColonB aims to break down the distinctions and boundaries that can be felt in art, such as types and trends, and to get closer to people and deliver the joy and emotion of art.

Artist Profile

Kojiro Matsumoto was born in Tokyo and raised in Sendai-shi,
Miyagi Prefecture. He is currently residing in Tokyo.
He earned his master’s degree from the Graduate School of Fine Arts at Tama University of Arts.
Matsumoto, whose pieces often depict young girls and creatures rendered in stylistics reminiscent of yonen manga (children’s cartoons), constructs his unique aesthetic worldview by interweaving the technique and composition of traditional Japanese painting, which he leant through the distinctive Japanese art education system,
together with pictorial methods often used for tobira-e (frontispiece) in manga comics.
