Walls Tokyo is pleased to present “BLOOM IN GARDEN II” by Jun Ogata x KAZZAN.

This is the second solo exhibition by Jun Ogata at the gallery, and will feature works based on the theme of “decorating a garden in a room,” featuring gardens and the flowers that bloom in them.

The paintings and photographs will express the seasonal beauty and withering beauty of diverse gardens in nature, as well as the world of color patterns and light and dark.

This year's exhibition will feature three new media and four categories, including paintings, ink paintings released under the name KAZZAN, and photographs, as well as Bonseki photos exhibited at the NFT.

We hope you will enjoy the new development of the Jun Ogata × KAZZAN exhibition.
