Exhibitions
Beyond Unique Transformation Twist (B.U.T.T.)
IRL Exhibition at Chignitta Gallery in Osaka (July 2024)
Artists are crazily extreme perfectionist when it comes to creating artworks. Although perfection leads to high quality of works, but repetition also limits artists to have fun and explore new possibilities to expand their horizon. With this exhibition we encourage artists to losen up, mock their own perfectionism, and create something they have never done before.
