MASANORI USHIKI solo exhibition “VISITORS” Break the rules will be held
2018.09.06
Artist MASANORI USHIKI has been publishing his portrait series “VISITORS” every day on Instagram since 2016. The paintings that the artist creates based on his mood at the moment are inspired by the anime and superheroes he watched as a boy. Fictional shapes, lovely girls, sci-fi characters, and other seemingly real characters continue to visit their followers' timelines, bringing with them humor, surprise, and irony.
"TOKYO CULTUART by BEAMS" will exhibit works based on "VISITORS" that are different from traditional expressions such as portraits and monochrome. By changing the approach of the characters visiting the timeline, I think you can make new discoveries and enjoy a new atmosphere. Please take a look.
