Tomason, an artist who draws monsters day after day with a posca in his hand, lands at "Imagine (IMA:ZINE)" in Osaka with many monsters in tow. His solo exhibition "wish is imagine" will open tomorrow, July 17 (Sat.), with the theme "Prayer is creation, creation is power.
The centerpiece of this exhibition is the "Imagine Monster," a new monster created by Tomason. Visitors can actually meet and pray with the monster at a shrine set up in the gallery, making this a one-man exhibition with a different twist.
In addition, there will be a variety of one-of-a-kind Tomason hand-drawn clothing worn by models for sale, as well as Imagine Monster plush toys, monster-shaped wooden panels, ceramic artwork, and limited-edition rug mats and rubber key chains made in collaboration with "Imagine" and other content. There will also be a limited edition of rug mats and rubber key chains made in collaboration with "Imagine! Colorful monsters will pop up in "Imagine".
Monsters drawn by TOMASON in 3D will be available for purchase, as well as plush toys of monsters by KIMIE TAKANO.
New deformed panels made by cutting wood to fit the monster's shape will also be on display.
The colorful use of color, one of the characteristics of Tomason's work, is also still present. Just looking at them is enjoyable.
The first ceramic artwork commissioned from figure artist BambiYAMAMOTO will also be on display and for sale.
The exhibition is packed with many things, but one thing is for sure: it is full of fun. One thing is for sure: it will be full of fun. Tomason himself will be in the gallery during the exhibition period. If you are in the area, please visit "Imagine"!
