Valley Gallery Naoshima: Art and Nature in Harmony

Valley Gallery Naoshima

Architecture and Design

The Valley Gallery consists of a small building resembling a shrine and its surrounding outdoor space. Located along a valley, which symbolizes a boundary or sanctuary, the double-walled interior creates an introspective atmosphere while remaining open to the semi-outdoors. This allows visitors to experience natural elements like light and wind directly.

Harmony with Nature and History

The gallery's architecture and the art within reflect the local environment and history, creating a resonance between the two. This interplay encourages visitors to reconnect with the richness of nature, the idea of symbiosis, and the universal themes of prayer and renewal.
