From Kawaii to Kowai: Japanese Artist Mr. Exhibits New Works at Perrotin Hong Kong

Description

Mr. explains his body of work in the full title of the exhibition, which is as follows: “People misunderstand me and the contents of my paintings. They just think they are nostalgic, cute, and look like Japanese anime. That may be true, but really, I paint daily in order to escape the devil that haunts my soul. The said devil also resides in my blood, and I cannot escape from it no matter how I wish. So I paint in resignation.”
