Perrotin Hong Kong is proud to present the gallery’s first solo exhibition with Japanese artist Mr. since 2016.
“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.”
The exhibition showcases a significant progression in the artist’s visual language and themes over the past several years. There will also be new series of paintings, featuring several works created over the past six years which highlight Mr.’s technical drawing strengths beyond painting.
