Junji Ito
Manga artist Junji Ito depicts a beautiful yet grotesque world. His work has captivated readers both domestically and internationally, engulfing the entire world in a whirlwind of excitement. This exhibition, the first large-scale solo exhibition of Junji Ito, will display his original hand-drawn illustrations, artworks, and paintings. In addition to his debut work "Tomie," the exhibition will feature series manga such as "Uzumaki," "Lovesickness: Junji Ito Story Collection," and "Soichi's Beloved Pet."
There will also be original drawings from works like "Hanging Balloons," "Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu," and "Dissolving Classroom," along with new works created specifically for this exhibition. Furthermore, attention is drawn to the new figure of "Tomie" created by the figure prototype artist Yoshiki Fujimoto. While skillfully reflecting human instinctual fears and aversions in his works, Ito seamlessly navigates between the ordinary and extraordinary, horror and humor. Enjoy a "shivering" moment in Ito's world of art.
