MISSION STATEMENT
After years of promoting the American art scene, Compound Gallery has realized that something is missing... independent and underground Japanese artists have no voice here and we want to change that. Each time we travel to Japan, we meet more of these exceptional artists, and are impressed by their innovative, fresh ideas. At the same time, the American art scene is hungry for new and original artists to follow. It is time to expose the American audience to Japanese artworks. It is time to bring together the American art collector and the Japanese artist. This is our goal at Compound Gallery.

Ippei Gyoubu was born in Osaka Japan in 1974. He graduated from the Kobe Art Institute and started his career as a character designer at a computer gaming company. His first major project was designing characters for the entire cast of the game "Cool Cool Toon" and worked on other various projects for 4 years. In 2001 he started his own independent studio and since then has worked with various clients such as Adidas, Nike, Sony, JR, Coca-Cola, Playstation, Sega, Konami, Lotte, Disney just to name a few. His creations were interpreted into video games, animation, apparel design and 3-D model figures.

He is currently working on a few animation and movie character design projects as well as his new 10" figure "Jet Girl" coming out under Wonder-Wall this year.

He currently lives in Tokyo Japan.
