Traveling exhibition “Unplugged” by artist Koji Toyoda will be held at “B GALLERY”
2022.05.28
``Unplugged'' is a large-scale exhibition commemorating Koji Toyoda's 30th anniversary. The event will begin at B GALLERY in Tokyo and travel to six locations including Hawaii.
30th Anniversary
“Unplugged” Exhibition by Koji Toyoda / Palm Graphics
Premium Year Memorial Event 2022
The idea for ``ENJOY SURF'' came to me while drinking cola after taking a bath on my 30th birthday, and it symbolized my love for ``surfing'' and ``self-expression.'' This is the origin of Koji Toyoda/ Palm Graphics, an artist who has been a leading force in modern surf art.
“2022” is a commemorative premium year, marking 30 years since the birth of “ENJOY SURF” and 25 years since its first exhibition at the International Surfing Museum in Huntington Beach, LA. Titled ``Unplugged'', which resembles a self-cover that recreates a familiar masterpiece in a ``current'' way of singing, we will hold a traveling exhibition that respects the original while evolving.
Also worth noting are collaborative works created with many artists, from up-and-coming artists to veterans.
Don't miss out on the first exhibition at Tokyo's B GALLERY.
