here (place close to the speaker or where the speaker is)The opening of the community recreation store "ESPOKYO," where he expresses what he has seen and felt, is still fresh in our minds, and this solo exhibition will continue that momentum with an installation of more than 50 new works created in Tokyo.

Powers has been visiting Tokyo for 24 years since his legendary "UNTITLED" exhibition in 1999, and is constantly inspired by the graphics and characters he sees on the streets. He has always been inspired by the graphics and characters he sees in the city, and has incorporated them into his work as part of his creative source. Since he started living in Tokyo in 2023, Tokyo has become an indispensable part of his life.

This solo exhibition, his first since beginning life in Tokyo, is a rare opportunity to see what Tokyo is like in his mind through his works.

For this solo exhibition, he says that he has incorporated "letters," the most important element in his works, such as kanji and katakana, into his paintings. We hope you will take note of this as well.

The solo exhibition will be held at the gallery GALLERY TARGET in Harajuku from Thursday, February 29 to Saturday, March 23.

During the exhibition, live screen printing and other events are scheduled at "ESPOKYO," so don't miss them either!
