CALM&PUNK is proud to present “OUTERSIDE”, an exhibition by Kenichiro Mizuno, Motohiro Hayakawa and Masanori Ushiki.


This exhibition will be held at CALM&PUNK GALLERY starting this Saturday, May 16th.

For this exhibition, Kenichiro Mizuno and Masanori Ushiki was brought together by Motohiro Hayakawa, who initiated the project. 
 The three of them are born three different decades, the 60s, 70s, and 80s, with seven years between them. Despite this, they all share the same passion for everything superhuman, and mainly draw their inspiration from 60s and 70s Japanese monster or “tokusatsu” movies. While that inspiration remains in this exhibition, here there is as also a focus on reflection in regards to the universal beauty than the human brain is capable of producing. For all three of the artists, the conceptual “superhuman” or “superman” is a symbol of beauty -April, 2015 Kenichiro Mizuno
