There is also an AR experience of the pink cat Kobayashi, created by the gap between adorable visuals and presence!
We will feature art works by Takehiro Iikawa, a popular artist known for his humorous and insightful works, including his masterpiece ``Decorator Crab - Mr. Kobayashi the Pink Cat''. In addition to the impactful visuals that make you want to take a photo, there is also the sense of strangeness and surprise of a big cat peering into the entire city, which you can never capture in its entirety, and the fact that viewers can take the artwork out of the exhibition space themselves and put it on another display. Through the extraordinary experience we bring to the venue, we create a "dialogue with everyday life."
Decorator Crab: Gallery “Glasses for future cats”
``Decorator Crab'' has been active since 2007 without having a specific exhibition location. In the four galleries set up in the "Stone and Light Square" to introduce the activities of the Decorator Crab, there will be exhibits such as ``Berry Heavy Bag'' and a plan drawing of ``Pink Cat Kobayashi'' that they hope to realize in the future. . During the exhibition period, we will also carry out a ``New Spectator'' event in which ``Berry Heavy Bags'' are transported from the gallery to another exhibition venue.
PROFILE
Born in Hyogo Prefecture in 1981. Currently based in Kobe. Graduated from Seian University of Art and Design, Department of Information Design, Video Class. In 2007, he began producing the Decorator Crab series. Objects and spaces that transform through the viewer's active involvement with the work are connected to events that occur simultaneously in other places (for zero or more viewers), as if they were something someone left behind. In works such as ``Berry Heavy Bag'' and ``Mr. Kobayashi the Pink Cat,'' a large sculpture that cannot be captured in its entirety, he positively captures the coincidences that occur due to the viewer's actions, and creates works that develop while provoking thought. .
This is a special project that brings together more than 10 young contemporary artists who are currently active and have unique methods of expression.
Please enjoy the various expressive styles created by each artist. We will also provide an opportunity for the artist to explain their work directly to you. Exhibited works are available for purchase.
*Only exhibitions are available on weekdays/Sales are also available on the first day and Saturdays and Sundays.
*Sales on the first day are scheduled to begin at 13:00.
