Nestled in the heart of Los Angeles’ historic Arts District, Lux Humans Gallery is more than a destination—it’s a movement. We are a hybrid creative space devoted to showcasing the evolving conversation between fine art and animation across Japan and the Pan-Pacific region. From gallery walls to storyboards, we blur the lines between cultural expression and visionary storytelling.
At Lux Humans, we believe in more than just presentation—we believe in process. Our public-facing gallery showcases exceptional contemporary works from underrepresented and world-renowned artists alike, while our hidden animation speakeasy incubates original visual IP behind the scenes. This duality forms the core of our identity, offering a rare convergence of finished masterpieces and works-in-progress. Whether you’re a collector, collaborator, or curious creative, Lux Humans invites you into both the front row and backstage of tomorrow’s cultural icons.
Rooted in Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo, our gallery honors the city’s deep Japanese-American heritage while expanding its reach across Asia and the Pacific Rim. We curate exhibitions that spotlight diverse voices, timeless aesthetics, and boundary-pushing concepts. Through thoughtful programming—including artist talks, lectures, and cultural exchanges—Lux Humans functions as a transnational platform for dialogue, inspiration, and innovation.

Our leadership is helmed by Chris Mitchell, an Emmy-nominated animation visionary whose credits span Samurai Jack, Spiderman: Across the Spider-Verse, and Hotel Transylvania. His curatorial direction is amplified by Bobson Chew, a respected producer and educator whose work spans global masterclasses, festivals, and cultural forums. Together, they bring decades of cross-cultural experience to a new kind of institution—one that values mentorship, mastery, and creative integrity.
Lux Humans is more than a gallery. It's an evolving creative ecosystem. We are designing a space where fine art fuels storytelling, and storytelling fuels the future. By supporting both exhibition and incubation, our model offers collectors, students, and cultural enthusiasts a role in shaping what’s next—from canvas to screen, from idea to impact.
We aim to foster a world-class platform for Japanese and Pan-Pacific artists, amplify underrepresented voices in the global art and animation markets, and cultivate a dynamic space for creative exchange between disciplines. Through thoughtfully curated exhibitions and cutting-edge visual development, we strive to position Lux Humans as a beacon of innovation, inclusion, and cultural dialogue—both in Los Angeles and around the world.
