My first solo exhibition in Osaka, "Gods and Monsters," explores the collision of pop culture, mythology, and the vibrant energy of street art. Heavily inspired by the raw, expressive style of Jean-Michel Basquiat, these works delve into the realms of imagination and folklore, bringing to life a menagerie of fantastical creatures.
Dragons, with their serpentine forms and fiery breath, intertwine with iconic figures like Godzilla, the embodiment of urban anxieties and atomic power. Mythical tigers, imbued with ancient symbolism and primal energy, prowl through the urban landscape. These beings, both terrifying and awe-inspiring, represent the duality of human nature – the capacity for both creation and destruction, fear and wonder.
Through bold lines, dynamic compositions, and a vibrant palette, I aim to capture the frenetic energy of these subjects, inviting viewers to confront their own perceptions of the divine and the monstrous. The canvas becomes a battleground for these opposing forces, a space where chaos and order collide.
This exhibition is an invitation to embrace the power of imagination, to tap into the primal energies that connect us to ancient myths and modern legends. It is a celebration of the creatures that populate our dreams and nightmares, a reminder that the line between gods and monsters is often blurred.
