Welcome to Japanese Zero 8, our annual exhibition of contemporary works. This year we are pleased to hold the exhibition at Kozminksy Melbourne, a firm dedicated to the best in quality for three generations. www.kozminskylevel1.com.au

Japanese Cool is inspired by the media inspired concept of Japan's reinvention through its urban culture. As far as we are concerned here at Lesley Kehoe Galleries, Japanese design has always had an air of 'cool' about it - be it 17th century or 21st century. Current contemporary works speak to a truly international contemporary aesthetic. "Why do Westerners insist that Japanese artists remain 'quaint' and 'traditional' in order to fit their image of artistry in Japan?"
