Ryohei Iwata 岩田 量平


Gallery Director


Ryohei Iwata is a gallery director born and raised in Nagoya, Japan. Before becoming a gallery director himself, he had worked in a bank, law firm as well as a university. “… though none of them can be described as my true calling.” he said.

Under the influence of family and growing up among objects of antiques, Iwata eventually set his eyes on the realm of the art world, right after learning his trade in a gallery that handles mainly classics like Picasso and Seison Maeda, Iwata initiated LAD Gallery in 2013, located in Nagono, Nagoya.

Focusing on emerging artists with a youthful spirit, LAD has exhibited works from the likes of Ei Kaneko, Genta Kosumi, Kiyomi+Tetsuhiro Uozumi and more. The Gallery is also a regular attendee of various art fairs in Japan like Art Osaka, Art Fair Asia Fukuoka and artTNZ.


名古屋で生まれ育つ。ギャラリーディレクターとなる以前は、銀行、法律事務所、大学などで働くも「どれも天職とは言えない」と語る。

家族の影響で骨董品に囲まれて育った岩田は、ピカソや前田青邨などの古典作品を中心に扱う画廊で修業を積んだ後、2013年に名古屋市の那古野に「LAD GALLERY」を設立。 これまでに、金子英、小澄源太、魚住紀代美+哲宏などの作品を展示。「LAD GALLERY」では、新進気鋭の若手アーティストに焦点を当てている。また、ART OSAKA、アートフェアアジア福岡、artTNZなど、日本の様々なアートフェアにも定期的に参加している。
