[Installation Views]
A variety of animals are painted in a gentle touch reminiscent of picture books and fairy tales, yet the works carry an intriguing undercurrent of loneliness.
[Staff Comment]
The calm, muted tones and the creatures drawn almost like humans evoke fairy tales! The singular world they inhabit and the slightly eerie expressions of the animals hold a strange, irresistible charm ✨ Please come and see them in person! (Mogi)
[Exhibition Information]
art remix
A "remix" refers to re-editing a work, or to the re-edited work itself; here, we invite you to read it as looking at existing works through a fresh perspective. In today's ever-shifting art scene, values too are constantly pressed to update, and revisiting works with a new eye — seeing them through the lens of the present — can reveal unexpected discoveries. We hope you will enjoy how this exhibition resonates with Shibuya's audiences, who keep pulling the "now" forward.
