A Collection of Recent Works

Shun Kawakami is a young artist who approaches expression with a broad perspective, unbound by genre or category. In recent years, his video work created for the Finnish television station (ch4) won a gold award at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in the Brand Design category. He is a talented artist with numerous accolades, including the NY ADC: Yong Gun6, D&AD Awards, NY TDC Awards, One Show, London International Awards, Good Design Award, and Tokyo Interactive Award.

This exhibition will showcase a collection of his recent artworks, along with new pieces.
He creates works that emphasize space and void, leveraging the tension of the environment. His art combines traditional Japanese aesthetics with elements such as Japanese paper, gold and silver leaf, collages of pine and ikebana, and calligraphy.
Visitors can expect to see monochrome artistic expressions formed by black and white (light and shadow), alongside various design approaches including print, video, and installations.
Additionally, an opening reception is scheduled for Sunday, December 4th, and an artist talk will be held on Monday, January 9th, 2012 (public holiday).
