Graphics, silkscreen prints, and painting. Although Ryuji Kamiyama's methods of expression vary, traces of his hands and a hint of the street can be felt in all of them. Kamiyama's solo exhibition "SOMEWHERE" will be held at TAGSTÅ GALLERY in Fukuoka.
SOMEWHERE" carries the theme of "painting to travel. When Mr. Kamiyama asked himself where he should head next, Fukuoka came to mind.
I don't draw ramen or mentaiko, but I'm looking forward to going to Fukuoka." I'm looking forward to going to Fukuoka. Please come and see for yourself what kind of motifs are depicted in his works. The exhibition will be open until December 20 (Tuesday). Don't forget to visit.
