Group Exhibition “Gospel”

KINOSHO KIKAKU will hold the group exhibition “Gospel” from February 8, 2025.
This is a group exhibition by three artists: zuzu, who mainly creates cute yet somehow melancholy representations; 16mei, who delivers views and concepts in the brain through images of forests and meadows; and Ren Komazawa, who creates introspective feelings and auras such as angels and dreams in lines.
While it is still bitterly cold, Risshun (the first day of spring) is approaching on the Japanese calendar. We hope that this exhibition will give you a faint feeling of spring after a long winter.
We hope you will take this opportunity to visit the exhibition.

いちごもち Ichigomochi
Graduated from Yokohama College of Art (now Yokohama College of Art), majoring in painting.
With the catchphrase “bold and delicate is his specialty,” he draws realistic facial expressions of human figures using the “shaved drawing” technique.
The lines drawn with intuitive strokes have a warm, crafty feel, as if he had sharpened them with a carving knife.
In addition to solo exhibitions in Tokyo, she has participated in the group exhibition “GIRLS WAVE” in Taiwan and Beijing.
He became popular for his illustrations for the music video for the opening theme of TV Tokyo Drama 24’s “Shijukara,” and has designed package illustrations for FOUR STAR’s “Amao Beer” and “Ume no Craft Beer,” as well as collaborated with Hatsune Miku and illustrated and animated Omoinotake’s official lyric video.
