The theme for the collection of works presented in this exhibition is TOKYO CITY POP. The image of a busy, dazzling city summer in yellow and blue came to me intuitively from those words. CITY POP was fashionable through the 70s and 80s, but I am not of the generation that actually experienced it in real time. So when I listened to lots of the top music from those days after doing some searching, I found that the melodies had an energy to them which is so nice to listen to, even today. The songs made me want to listen to them on a beach in the summer, a place where I can enjoy an open feeling, and this inspired me to paint a beach on Sonny Angel’s body. It gives you the impression that you can hear a lot of lively voices, but in contrast to that, the beach also feels like a secret paradise for one person only. I hope you enjoy it.
