Ota Fine Arts was established in 1994 in the Ebisu area of Tokyo. For 16 years, the gallery has defined itself as a pioneer of Japanese contemporary art. Since its inception, Ota Fine Arts has promoted various Japanese artists, including internationally acclaimed Yayoi Kusama.
In 2003, the gallery moved to Roppongi and later it relocated to the Tokyo bay area until early 2011. In February 2011, the gallery returned to Roppongi and opened a new space.
Ranging from painting to video art and crafts, the gallery represents talented and unique artists who employ different media. While Ota Fine Arts continues to support its represented artists, it also strives to provide opportunities to up and coming talents.
Over the last two years, one of the main goals of Ota Fine Arts is to bring more regional character, originality and commonality throughout the Asian cultural belt into the programmes. The gallery has held exhibitions with Korean, Chinese and Iranian artists in the past year. It strongly hopes these programmes will convey a new aspect of contemporary art today.
In September 2012, Ota Fine Arts expanded to a newly opened branch within the arts cluster Gillman Barracks in Singapore.
