♠ Period : 2025.05.31 - 07.20
Artist Aruta Soup’s first solo exhibition in Korea,《INSOMNIAC CITY》, will be held from May 31 to July 20, 2025.
Experience the artist's original worldview, which freely mixes Japanese comics, British black humor and street culture,
in depth with new paintings and neon installations inspired by the Tokyo Shinjuku Night Streets.
Under the theme of "The City That Never Sleeps," the exhibition captures the depth and emptiness, desire, and rhythm of insomnia hidden behind the dazzling facade of Shinjuku, especially Kabukicho.
The artist reimagines this urban landscape through a visual language blending
painting, neon, and graffiti-like sensibilities, centered on ‘ZERO,’ a bandaged
rabbit character who crosses the boundaries between reality and imagination.
We kindly
ask for your attention to this exhibition, which captures contemporary urbanity
and humanity through Aruta Soup’s sharp yet playful perspective!
