Exhibition featuring new urban street art by 9 artists from Japan
In a country where the western status quo does not rule (or is unable to because of the language barrier), exposure to various counter cultures in Japan results in culture shock. What follows is the spirit and attitude of these subcultures, which is then, in its own unique way, appropriated to suit the Japanese way of life. This exhibition explores the distinct expressions of Japanese artists who grew up on a skateboard, watching MTV, on a diet of music: from punk to hip hop to techno. New combi- nations were formed, new collaborations occurred, elements blended; with an open mind, free from the 'western conventions' of urban culture.
Mikito Ozeki's laboriously detailed paper cuts echoes centuries-old Japanese paper-cut art, kiri-e, while Taku Obatu's sculptures immortalize the ultimate 'freeze' stance, evidence of Obatu's b-boy origins. Painter and sculptor Ryuichi Ogino's work is informed by both American and Japanese culture, a juxtaposition of styles and media, exploring themes influenced by birth and origin.
