A new selling exhibition in the Print Sales Gallery

Following 2023’s acclaimed in-depth retrospective at The Photographers’ Gallery, Daido Moriyama: Encounters focuses on a smaller selection of works that highlights the quieter, reflective moments within Moriyama’s prolific practice. This selling exhibition celebrates Moriyama's representation at The Print Sales Gallery.

Moriyama is best known for recording the freneticism and anonymity of life in the city, Encounters reveals his lesser-explored ability to show beauty and stillness in the everyday. Softly lit city streets, rendered in grainy textures, evoke a surreal and poetic visual language that embraces imperfection. Fleeting moments of calm and intimacy are paired with whimsical glimpses of animals and delicate vignettes of nature - blossoms, snowflakes and quiet, weathered corners of urban sprawl - revealing an unexpected tenderness amongst his raw and gritty aesthetic.
