Current Exhibition
Shimon Kamada: Phantom('s) Presence
Shimon Kamada
13 June - 29 August 2026
PODIUM is proud to present “Phantom(’s) Presence”, Rotterdam-based Japanese artist Shimon Kamada’s first solo presentation with the gallery and in his career. In this new body of work, Kamada draws from his photo archives that span his childhood and teenage years in his hometown in Japan, conjuring realms where these images drift, overlap, and intertwine like fragmented memories. From hometown streets and domestic settings to scenes of natural sublimity and surreal dreamscapes; the artist bathes each composition in skewed light, melancholic shadows, and psychological tension to render a series of enigmatic narratives, revealing the fragile and elusive nature of remembrance.
The exhibition opens on 13 June (Saturday) from 2 to 7 PM and is on view until 29 August (Saturday).
Upcoming Exhibition
Luis Xertu: Halfway Across the Rubicon
Luis Xertu
19 September - 21 November 2026
PODIUM is proud to present ‘Halfway Across the Rubicon’, Rotterdam-based artist Luis Xertu’s first solo presentation with the gallery and in Asia. In this new body of paintings, Xertu unfolds a tender, sun-drenched world where the fleetingness of love, beauty, and youth lingers like the last light of summer. He traces delicate passages of intimacy within and beyond friendship, attending to a bittersweet ambivalence shaped by quiet tensions, hidden desires, and unspoken affections that surface as both excess and residue through the fissures of the grammar of social life.
The exhibition opens on 19 September (Sat), from 2 to 7 PM, and remains on view through 21 November (Sat).
