What kind of paintings do musicians of the NY punk hardcore scene paint? Pop-up at MIDORI.so2 Gallery in Omotesando this weekend.

There are people such as Kurt Cobain and Shintaro Sakamoto who are both musicians and artists, and I am wondering how their musicality and artistry are or are not linked.

Sam Razor is one of them. He is a musician and artist in the New York punk and hardcore scene, and in 2014, he opened a shop in a back alley in Brooklyn with his own artwork and a selection of junk goods.Dripper World. The store closed its doors in 2018 due to its illegal operations, but it continues to have a strong influence on the world today, even though it is now only available online.

Sam and Sommer Stamprey, a paper cutout and animation artist, will hold a pop-up "Plastic Garden" from January 11 (Sat) to 13 (Mon) at "MIDORI.so2 Gallery" in COMMUNE OMOTESANDO. On the first day, Saturday, January 11, an opening party will be held from 4:00 pm.

There are also a variety of products for sale, such as graphic T-shirts and books of works.

This is a unique opportunity to experience their free, original and creative work. The period is short , so don't miss it.
