CALM & PUNK GALLERY is pleased to announce Tomoki Kurokawa’s solo exhibition, another world.
Kurokawa has actively presented his works at galleries in and out of Japan. In recent years, he’s also focused on self-initiated projects, seeking to communicate with viewers through open studios and workshops.

Another world is the title of an exhibition where Kurokawa showcases a series of works––these are multiple iterations conceived under the same name. This is the inaugural show in a series of exhibitions that will be presented on an ongoing basis. Kurokawa has consistently pursued the habits of acquiring knowledge and cultivating ingenuity. He also paints visible things in a perceivable way while simultaneously betraying the viewer’s visual common sense. We look forward to seeing you at the exhibition to witness the artist embark on this new challenge.

As a painter, I create work and hold exhibitions.
Through my craft, I continue to visually betray the viewer’s common sense.
I sell my art and deliver the experience of owning an artwork.
Another world marks the beginning of a homonymous exhibition series that I hope to develop in the future.
Another world box set is a series of works that pair a painting with a box.

-Tomoki Kurokawa
