Kyushu is hot. . and I hear it from many people. Just a few days ago, I heardKIYONAGA&CO. has just opened. . There is no doubt that an ecosystem different from that of Tokyo is being built.
Part of such a reputation is the independent illustrator, "NONCHELEEE. Have you ever heard of the artist "LIFE GOES ON"? To celebrate the release of his first book, "LIFE GOES ON," an exhibition will be held at MIDORI.so in Tokyo.
The concept of "LIFE GOES ON" is to follow the music career of "IRIE WINEY," a fictional musician who emits vibes in the mind of "NONCHELEEE," with his discography. This exhibition condenses that worldview into one.
Also active in Kyushu, "KYNE. This is the only chance to purchase "LIFE GOES ON" except for "ON AIR," a studio and gallery space in Fukuoka, which is operated together with "LIFE GOES ON". Please take this opportunity to visit the exhibition venue. Wear and original goods will also be available, so you won't want to miss it.
The surreal, hateful boys and girls that fill his brain. We invite you to experience his strong personality and mood that resembles no one else.
The opening reception will be held on Friday, April 21 at 6:00 p.m. and is open to the public, so come and join us.
Note that the back of this exhibit, "TISSUE PAPERS." is advocating "a publishing label that touches your delicate zone," and that's why we can't take our eyes off of it.
