Brand New Edge Shibuya: An Artistic Fusion of Architecture and Creativity
The upcoming exhibition,
'Brand New Edge Shibuya,' is set to take place from December 9 to December 14, 2025, at Gallery Conceal Shibuya in Tokyo. Organised by
aQ-studio from Nagoya and art group
III CONS., this fourth edition of the series promises to push boundaries. This time, it features collaborations with 11 notable digital artists, showcasing a collection of unique artistic works, totaling 33 pieces, all created on specially coated canvases designed for this exhibition.
A Unique Artistic Initiative
The
'Brand New Edge' project intertwines the realms of art and architectural coatings. By partnering top artists with experts in unique wall coatings, aQ-studio and III CONS. aim to create exceptional pieces that highlight the beauty and innovation of both disciplines. Previously, during the third exhibition in Osaka, the event attracted over 700 visitors in just six days with the efforts of nine artists.
The synergy of different styles and ideas results in original pieces that blend art techniques with architectural materials, creating a space for creativity that challenges conventional boundaries. The exhibition allows artists to explore their craft on canvases treated with architectural coatings, showcasing how art and construction can collide to produce unique masterpieces.
Featured Artists
This year, the spotlight will be on 11 exciting contemporary artists, including:
- - Narcolepsy (@narcolepsy1999): Based in Yokohama, Narcolepsy has gained recognition for merging Japanese ukiyo-e styles with modern aesthetics, creatively reflecting contemporary beauty ideals.
- - Moomoo (@moomoo.05): Known for a unique blend of traditional Japanese styles fused with mechanical and feminine subjects.
- - Ebi (@ebi_artstudios) and Shota (@shota_no_e): Both distinguished artists bring digital creativity to life with their innovative methodologies.
- - Dragon River (@tattu_gae), Mamoru (@mamoru.kame), HAQ (@haq_nzm), and others will also showcase their unique perspectives and artistic mastery.
Each of these artists will bring their vision to life on canvases treated with specially designed coatings, which add depth and character to their digital and traditional art styles.
Experience the Intersection of Art and Architecture
The architectural coatings used not only serve a functional purpose but also elevate the artistic presentation. This innovative approach recognizes walls not merely as boundaries but as dynamic canvases that can reflect emotions, culture, and individuality.
For anyone interested in exploring how art transcends its traditional forms when combined with architectural innovation,
'Brand New Edge Shibuya' is a can't-miss event. The exhibition promises to leave attendees with a deeper appreciation for the profound relationship between these two disciplines, inviting them to witness how different creatives can collaborate to craft something entirely new.
