THE FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION IN JAPAN

At this exhibition, her first solo show in Japan, rare works that are usually hard to find in Japan will be displayed and sold, including POP and kitschy original illustrations and goods. The cute illustrations with a fanny and cute touch will be exhibited with the slightly naughty meaning of “Iku! Iku! I’m going! Iku! IKUIKU STUDIO draws various kinds of “iku! Ikuku! will be presented as a world full of POP, kitsch, and happiness, and chignitta space will be filled with colorful, fun, and euphoric works throughout chignitta space.

And this is chignitta space’s first solo exhibition of an overseas artist, and this time IKUIKU STUDIO will be coming to Osaka from Taiwan and looking forward to interacting with visitors. With over 33,000 current Instagram followers, IKUIKU STUDIO is very popular not only in Taiwan but also in the world, and we hope you will enjoy his solo exhibition at chignitta space.

WHO IS IKUIKU STUDIO?
