I went to Japan the 26th of June, the reason why i went here, was simply because i have never been here before. It has been a good an really relaxed experience, no troubles, absolutely nothing went wrong, well at least nothing that wasnt out of my hands.
I was invited to make a solo exhibition in the Dimlight Gallery in Hiroshima. It is run by the local artist Suiko. My time in Japan i have been drawing a lot and that was what i ended up with showing. Never before have made such a unplanned exhibition. It was a good and calm experience and on arrival, Suiko had some ideas about 3 walls i could paint at Dimlight aswell. And so i did. The exhibition consists of drawings and silkscreen printing.Dimlight is a place that focuses on graffiti writers or artists with graffiti background, works that focus on letters ideas of letters and works out of the graffiti culture context. I made a series of works, that is empressions of Japan. The series of silkscreen prints is a edition called "A" "a" i brouhgt from home and that i have worked with here. Plus i showed 4 silkscreen prints and a photo manipulation plus 3 drawings on walls. and 3 video documentations of live painting.
During the openings at Dimlight it is costume that the exhibiting artist work on a new piece and so i did.
I am happy with the works and the exhibtion it was fun and relaxed to do and i have been treated fantastic by the hardworking proffesional staff of Dimlight. The show is on untill the 15/7 2018. Drop by and check it out. Thanks to Suiko and the Dimlight team.
Below some pictures from the exhibition and the opening hope you enjoy.
