<Event Details>

For this exhibition, we’re stepping away from TV program artwork to showcase original pieces.

We’ll be showcasing numerous works conceived and created since 2022, using the entire space to express the unique world of these pieces.

At the venue, we’ll also be selling original merchandise for the first time under Daisuke Shinba’s personal brand.

The lineup includes T-shirts, tote bags, keychains, and more.

In addition, a limited-quantity sticker set will be given as a gift to visitors.

<On Holding This Solo Exhibition>

Unlike the client work he usually undertakes, this exhibition features pieces created by directly translating the sudden impulse—“I want to make this”—that popped into his head into designs.

The roots of my creativity are deeply influenced by the anime I was obsessed with from kindergarten through second grade, and it was inspired by those childhood memories and sensibilities that I chose “boys” as the title for this solo exhibition.

This solo exhibition is intended to share the free expression of “Shimba Daisuke” with as many people as possible.

Admission is free, and while this is an endeavor I expect to operate at a loss, my hope is that my work will reach as many people as possible, spread across the world, and serve as a catalyst to inspire others.

Cherishing the sensibilities I’ve cultivated through my work in television—where visual impressions are conveyed in an instant—I hope viewers will freely embrace the impact they feel the moment they see the artwork and the emotions that arise from it.
