Teppei Kaneuji announced as the second featured artist for a limited-time art exhibition at JINS Shibuya.

The JINS Shibuya store, the flagship location for the eyewear brand JINS, is hosting a limited-time art exhibition by artist Teppei Kaneuji until Tuesday, October 24.

Opened in May 2017, the store embodies JINS' vision: to constantly explore and expand the value of eyewear beyond mere vision correction, mirroring Shibuya's own evolution as a hub of trends and constant change.

Since its opening, the store has attracted not only trend-conscious young people but also many international visitors.

This second art exhibition is being held in the store's flexible event space on the second floor of JINS Shibuya.

A total of 15 works, including new pieces, by Teppei Kaneuji, an emerging artist who also designed the store's eyewear cases and cleaning cloths, will be on display.

This limited-time event features a collection of sophisticated artworks that will adorn the store, including motifs drawn from manga backgrounds and images of cosmetic liquids repeated in abundance.

Don't miss it.
