Shintaro Ohata Exhibition "Only I Know" at 8/CUBE, Shibuya Hikarie

An exhibition titled "Only I Know" by artist Shintaro Ohata will be held at 8/CUBE on the 8th floor of Shibuya Hikarie. This exhibition celebrates Mr. Ohata's 20th anniversary since establishing his unique style of combining painting with three-dimensional objects. It offers a valuable opportunity to experience the trajectory of his artistic journey and the new steps emerging from it.

Exhibition Content: 20 Years of Journey and New Beginnings

Born in Hiroshima Prefecture in 1975, Ohata is known for capturing fleeting moments and everyday scenes, rendering them like cinematic stills. His distinctive technique, which merges painting with three-dimensional elements, creates a "pop-up book" effect, lending depth and a sense of presence to his works, earning him support from collectors both domestically and internationally. This exhibition will feature representative works tracing his 20-year creative path, alongside his latest pieces.

The exhibition is structured around three themes: new works depicting the Shibuya landscape, new pieces in a series focusing on the escape of a boy and a girl, and a collection of significant works from his two decades of creation. Through these pieces, visitors can appreciate the depth of his artistic expression and his drive for future creations.
