From GAN to the world,
A bridge to the global stage.

The power of art to connect the future

GAN PROJECT Inc. is a contemporary art initiative inspired by the legacy of Akira Ishino and GALLERYGAN, originally founded in Ginza in 1995. Known for discovering and supporting emerging artists, Ishino brought fresh perspectives to the global art scene through exhibitions across Japan and abroad. His contributions earned him prestigious honors and deep respect within the international art community.

Continuing this spirit, GAN PROJECT is committed to discovering and nurturing artists while promoting “marketable contemporary art” across a growing global network. Marking the first anniversary of Ishino’s passing, the project has expanded its platform to showcase a diverse range of talent from Japan and beyond—supporting boundary-pushing creativity and shaping the future of art for a new generation.

Contemporary Artist

Anton Molnár is an artist who has transformed the chaotic aspects of contemporary society and culture, along with the fluctuating emotions within them, into his work based on his own lived experiences. His practice focuses on capturing the atmosphere of his life during the late 19th century and the following years, attempting to translate this into the language of art. This approach has become the core of his creative process. His expressions often involve delicate painting techniques and symbolism, quietly posing questions to the viewer.

For Molnár, art is already a “means of life”—it transcends mere creation, becoming a way of living itself. While embedding his emotions and opinions into his works, he maintains the stance that interpretations and evaluations should be left open to the viewer’s freedom. His pieces, which unfold various narratives and meanings depending on the observer, quietly and deeply enter the hearts of those who engage with them.
