PAGIC Gallery is pleased to announce “Muse,” a group exhibition of young talented artists in Osaka.
The five artists muse in different ways to express their artistic interests and catch their inspirations.
The insightful works seek more certainty of belief from an inner search and discernment of essence from external stimuli.

Through her works, contemporary artist Hanako Kimura shows how seemingly opposing concepts can be mixed and matched as inseparable things, and that there is a vast gray zone lying in between.

In @Same_Not_Same, we will exhibit the project of the same name, which includes photography, sculptures, and an Instagram account.

This project focuses on a product called LILLEPLUTT – a cat-shaped soft – sold by IKEA, a gigantic company with 445 stores in 59 countries around the world.

This adorable toy is mass-produced and sold as the same product all over the world. However, due to differences in the manufacturing process, no two are identical in appearance, and the price varies depending on the country or region where they are sold, giving them a different meaning to their owners.

Working in various Asian countries in 2019, Kimura attempts to engage with “individuals” in each country through this product and to explore the reality of this world of which they, and we, are a part.

Through the experience of Markinton, who symbolizes the “who left behind,” the story depicts encounter and loss, traumatizing and acceptance.
Also, there will be a series of independent stories such as “FRIENDS” and “UFO-chan” that share the same world, and each character represents the artist’s inherent emotions, difficulties, and delicacy.
In this exhibition, SUZAKI’s drawing works, which are her flesh and blood but have never been sold before, will be available for purchase as printings and blockchain certificates.
In addition to the canvas works, original goods from Markington, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2022, will be available.

• Closed on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Tuesday, March 8
• Artist in gallery on February 25 to 27
• Open at 4 pm at the opening day
