Seonna Hong Viscery Loves Company Kaikaikiki gallery
I made it to Tokyo in time to see Seonna Hong's art show at Kaikaikiki gallery called, Viscery Loves Company. Her paintings were large sized, much larger than anything I've seen from her before. I actually saw these pieces in the works at her studio, but seeing them up on a nice large wall was amazing. She's able to mix her old sharp 2d style that was heavily graphic oriented, to now using paint brush strokes and showing them off, while not abandoning her craft elements of using pre printed papers for her character's outfits. I have a feeling, these new works will be part of a great future in painting for her.

What is Seonna singing in the pic where she's holding a microphone? Is it Roxy Music?
wow. I would love to see this show in person...
Those are some gorgeous pieces. I really liked the one with the bears climbing the tree and the one with the bears and Victrola.
Thanks for sharing these photos! These are beautiful.
I was just in Tokyo and I;m kinda sad coz I missed this one. But thanks for taking great photos. :)
Also, I read your article( GR Mag) about Akihabara and you are so right on about the place. Of course I didn't go to the maid cafes but they were just there by the station giving out fliers. It is truly an energizing area of Tokyo ( actually Tokyo as a whole is). My first time in Tokyo and I would love to go back.
Oh, and I went to Muji and made my mark on one of their 100 yen bags. Thanks for the info on that too.
I love her work! Thanks for such great pics.
