Experience the Enchantment at Lotta's Solo Exhibition 'Welcome to my Dream'

Welcome to Lotta's Dream

From July 4 to July 27, 2025, art enthusiasts will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world created by the talented artist Lotta at her solo exhibition titled 'Welcome to my Dream'. Held at the prestigious tHE GALLERY OMOTESANDO, this exhibition is curated by Yasumasa Yoneda, who also played a key role in Lotta's artistic journey since her first show in 2021.

Artist's Vision

Lotta expresses her passion for art through carefully crafted themes that revolve around dreams. In her earlier exhibition titled 'Dreams come true', she highlighted the elation of beginning her career as a painter. Now, in this upcoming exhibition, she invites visitors to journey into her latest dream, offering glimpses of its unfolding narrative.

This exhibition is uniquely structured, merging storytelling with visual arts. Each artwork represents a pivotal scene from a larger story, transforming the audience into a character within that narrative. As visitors interact with the pieces, they become part of Lotta's vibrant world, blurring the lines between dream and reality.

The Character of Socks

A notable element of Lotta’s work is her emblematic character, Socks. Known as a monochrome ghostly cat, Socks serves as a bridge connecting viewers to their own memories and reflections on life. As attendees navigate through the exhibition, they will witness how the surrounding world begins to embody colors and emotions that enhance the dialogue between their dreams and the present reality.

Lotta’s Artistic Journey

Since her debut in 2021, Lotta has developed her distinctive style independently. Her mission is to create art that provokes thought and encourages imagination—art that is more than mere visual stimuli. By weaving narratives into her pieces, she invites viewers to explore fragments of dreams that resonate with their own experiences. Lotta’s preferred mediums include acrylics, watercolors, and spray paint, echoing her diverse influences.

Inspirations and Future Aspirations

Lotta draws inspiration from early Disney animations and classic cartoons, which played a pivotal role in the emergence of her character, Socks. Her love for cats is evident in her work, as she aims to simplify character design while evoking a sense of nostalgia. With a dream to branch out into multimedia, including video and interactive media, Lotta is enthusiastic about the potential to expand her artistic expression.

Curators’ Insight

According to curator Yasumasa Yoneda, Lotta’s works serve as entrances to the stories we all have, encapsulating dreams, childhood memories, and emotions that reside deep within us. By presenting a play of monochrome and color, Lotta’s pieces evoke personal tales and memories that resonate with viewers, creating a poignant experience.
