Agnès Troublé, founder of Agnès b., believes that "elective affinities" have guided her life. She is not attracted by a person’s fame but by their charm, intelligence, talent, and freedom. Among those encounters were Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Agnès was also one of the first to introduce in France, Futura2000 from New York or European graffiti pioneers such as Ash, Skki©, and Jay One, as well as Martin Parr and Nan Goldin.

Last year marked the significant milestone of the 40th anniversary of Agnès b.’s arrival in Japan. The “Elective Affinities” Part I exhibition held in January 2023 began with five artists– Katsuhiko Hibino, Hanayo, Nobuhiro Shimura, Yoichi Ochiai, and Kenta Cobayashi– passing the creative baton to those who captivated them. A total of 19 artists and recommenders actively participated in this exhibition.
Now, following these participants, the current exhibition features 21 groups (22 artists) with even broader genres, generations, and diverse titles compared to the previous one, marking the culmination of the anniversary. Although each artist contributes only one piece, the text describing their unique connections and interests with fellow artists vividly portrays their individuality, much as their artworks.
