It was SUPER ACRYLIC SKIN, an exhibition at Tokyo Gallery in 2005, that Matsuura Hiroyuki marked his transition from designer to artist. Since then, Matsuura has been leading an active career both in Japan and overseas, expanding his repertoire to include more means of expression such as painting, sculpture, print and more.
This exhibition showcases four of his latest works, plus four drawings and three prints, incorporating themes of “cool” and “kawaii (cute)” along with some street culture motifs.
