TOKYO PARK Gallery is pleased to debut with TOKYO COLOURS, a group exhibition with Urban Japanese Artists Ashiya Shiguma, Mayumi Konno, Neko, Saiakunana and TYM344. Shaped by their socio-cultural experience, these artists will paint a booming, flourishing Art Scene in Shoreditch. An Artistic expression which until recently was isolated from the United Kingdom.

In an Art World marked by Conceptualism and Avant-Garde, filled with hard-to-reach meanings and audience neglection, the new generation of Japanese artists will bring a new wave of Colour and Beauty, accessible to all. Through painting, TOKYO COLOURS will present a never-before seen Alternative approach to Pop: a Post-Superflat reaction to Art.
All united for the concepts of self-innovation and perfection, each artist follows their personal aesthetic and colour palette. Ashiya Shiguma draws partially concepted animated women in unconventional mediums such as cardboard and transparent multi-layered acrylic sheets. Mayumi Konno’s women wear a mysterious piercing gaze, attentively observing the viewer, surrounded by violet and blue plush dolls, abstract backgrounds, and missing textures. Neko takes full advantage of his endless artistic inspiration, turning every medium and surface into paint-layered colourful works of art, crowded with women in racy, risqué situations, teasing the viewer. Saiakunana is a punk-rocker, known for making pink acrylic/mixed media paintings, incorporating uncommon materials such as typed paper, water bottle labels, English writing, and hand-drawn guitar-playing girls. TYM344 revolves upon the concept of ‘Binarization of Art’, painting urban landscapes composed of street signs and advertising in Black and White, solely populated by two enigmatic characters: Yuu san and Ai san, who smile and react to their painter/photographer.
