Inoue
Inoue has worked as a graphic designer and illustrator since 1998.
Freelance since 2002.
Since a group exhibition in France in 2020, he has also been active as an artist.
He likes to create original drawings of miscellaneous images like back alleys in the city center, and ambiguous expressions and gestures that people show when they are not paying attention.

Kimiko Chikuma
Influenced by “Pop Art” in the U.S. since 1960, Kimiko Chikuma uses contemporary Japanese girls, manga, anime, graffiti, and other forms of expression and incorporates them into her work.
While “Pop Art” has dominated the art scene in the West, I hope to show what has happened since then with my works based on contemporary Japanese expression.

Shoichi Tsurukawa’s solo exhibition “禍慰獣-KAIJU-”
Friday, April 19 – Thursday, May 2
Tuesday through Saturday, 11:00-18:00
Sunday 11:00-17:00
Closed on Mondays

I will be exhibiting new works in which I have used the traditional technique of tsutsugakure-printing to create patterns of complex colors of emotion, and then stuffed the dyed cloth with cotton to create a unique matiere. Please come and see the march of “beasts” that “comfort” the “disasters” of anxiety, fear, and anger that come in daily.
