. It is strong when you can tell at a glance that the work is that person's work.

With that said, if you look at the artwork on the ↑, you can immediately tell that it is the work of artist Mayumi Yamase.

Mayumi Yamase, who studied fine art at the University of the Arts in London and is now based in Tokyo and active in a variety of scenes, creates abstract paintings and soft sculptures on the theme of "things that are invisible but certainly there," such as the inside of the body and the movement of emotions.

In recent years, we have collaborated with many fashion and sports brands , and many of you may have seen these paintings.

The elephant in the room," the name of the exhibition to be held this time, is an English phrase meaning "to turn a blind eye" or "to dare not talk about.

I thought it was a good name, as it is very close to the aforementioned thesis of Yamase. And above all, it is cute.

The exhibition will feature dozens of canvas works , including large paintings, and four soft sculptures.

A new space, "invisible but surely there," created when the "air" that we create without being aware of it and the "air" of others with different colors come into contact with each other, is expressed in this work. The new space is expressed.
