Tadaomi Shibuya : Colours

The free exhibitions at shops or cafes usually show work from people doing art for hobby or students from art schools. That is probably because they desperate to show you their work and can’t be bothered to charge for it. However, even those free exhibitions tend to have amazing stuff these days. Shibuya Tadaomi’s Colours exhibition at 55DSL TOKYO will make you feel that you are really lucky to pop in and say “are you sure you don’t want to charge anything for this?”

Shibuya Tadaomi’s Colours exhibition at 55DSL TOKYO

Walk on Meiji-Dori towards Yoyogi, turn right after you passed a fashion building Laforet Harajuku… If you live in Tokyo, you should know that is another big fashion area called ‘Ura-Harajuku“. 55DSL also has a shop in the area with full of fashionable kids in day and night.

55DSL is a street fashion brand started in 1994 by Andrea Rosso, whose father is the owner of DIESEL, Renzo Rosso. As DIESEL has been supporting film makers and musicians doing projects like DIESEL DREAMS or events like DIESEL U MUSIC, 55DSL also seem to have enthusiasm for art scene.

Shibuya Tadaomi’s Colours exhibition has been held as a part of 55DSL’s art project “Poo on Art”. This project is held not only in Tokyo but also NY, London and Milan to feature street art that still many people don’t consider as an art form. The artists featured here need to have ability to challenge, originality and unique satire which doesn’t need to be branded. And the artists who are chosen for this project are allowed to express their art on this canvas, 55DSL shop itself.

As the name of the exhibition, many colorful work are exhibited everywhere in the shop. Shibuya’s work that re-consists of straight lines might remind you of an American artst, Chuck Close.

Shibuya who has strong influence from Hip-Hop culture has provided work for people like DJ UPPERCUT and STRAIGHT NO CHASER Magazine.

Most of his work look like drawn on a computer or by using a ruler but if you have a closer look, you can see that it drawn by hand. It looks like digital but analogue. - This might be the great thing of this young artist’s work.
