日本當代藝術經常與影響深遠、以村上隆為首的「超扁平」運動劃上等號，或受到奈良美智的可愛風格所影響，被冠上「卡娃依」的外號，甚至讓人聯想到草間彌生的普普畫風。今次拍賣會隆重介紹多位才華橫溢、年輕出眾的日本藝術家，風格有別於以上各個藝術運動的大方向，聚焦於簡約主義、人物肖像、超現實，以至抽象主義。這批年輕藝術家的作品，為日本當代藝術注入新氣象，讓觀眾以全新角度審視既有藝術形式。

這位年輕藝術家擅長運用意想不到的色彩配搭，以及寬大的筆觸，將都市生活建構成如夢似幻的國度。畫中的大自然景觀有如幻想故事中的仙境，筆觸和構圖往往帶有幾分即興，為畫面平添活力朝氣。安田悠一九八二年生於日本香川縣，二〇〇七年取得武藏野美術大學油畫碩士學位。畢業後，他隨即獲得 Tokyo Wonder Wall 大奬，並在日本及海外參與多個群展。他的作品曾展於台北世貿中心舉行的「台北國際藝術博覽會」（二〇一二年）、Yuka Tsuruno藝廊的「Painting Never Dies」（二〇一二年）及豐田市美術館的「Art in an Office」（二〇一一年）。他亦在日本舉行多場個展，最近一場為Yuka Tsuruno 藝廊的「Between」（二〇一四年）。他的作品現已納入橫浜美術館及高橋收藏的藝術藏品之列。
