From May 20 through September 14, 2025, THE GALLERY by odo will present YAKUSHIMA, a striking new exhibition by French-American artist Antoine Wagner. Inspired by Japan’s Yakushima Island—renowned for its ancient trees and mystical landscapes—the show features large-scale abstract photographs printed on Kozo mulberry paper, earthy mixed-media paintings, and helio engravings evoking the island’s textures and spirit.

The exhibition unfolds across three interconnected spaces: THE GALLERY by odo, two Michelin-starred restaurant odo, and odo Lounge, blending fine art with elevated Japanese dining under the guidance of Chef Hiroki Odo. “There’s a beautiful harmony between the mystical, organic nature of Yakushima and the deeply human qualities in Wagner’s work and personality,” Odo notes.

Accompanying the artworks is a floral installation by Kan Asakura, as well as a special Yakushima-inspired menu that homage to the lush, vibrant spirit of Yakushima, rich with greenery and life.
