NAMPEI AKAKI + MOZYSKEY "Snake 69" joint exhibition held at B GALLERY
2020.06.25
"B GALLERY" will hold a collaborative exhibition between photographer Kusuhei Akagi and graffiti artist MOZYSKEY.
Born in the year of the Snake in 1977, when PUNK was born in London, the two met at THE LAST GALLERY through an encounter with the late editor Fumihiro Hayashi. After that, they continued their respective production activities, but due to their shared feelings for the late Fumihiro Hayashi, they reunited in 2019 and decided to start a new attempt at collaborative production with the theme of "MIX". I did.
In this exhibition titled "Snake 69 (Miroku)", in addition to announcing new collaborative works, individual works will also be exhibited and sold. Please look forward to this exhibition, which will be the first attempt by the two artists, who have exhibited a variety of works both domestically and internationally.
