Born in the Madness - Jun Inagawa’s Hypnotic Second Exhibition at DIESEL ART GALLERY
If you’re thinking about Tokyo’s fascinating young party scene and the historical whirlwind of manga culture, it’s hard to bridge these two scenes, but one artist does it exceptionally well: Jun Inagawa.
The prodigious 23-year-old artist managed to merge these two, as he is currently working on his upcoming anime titled “Mahou Shoujo Magical Destroyers”, a shoujo-fighter type anime distinct by its red color palette and striking graphics, as well as being one of the hottest upcoming DJs of Tokyo and LA.
His previous collaborations with brands such as NEIGHBORHOOD and Vlone caught the eye of fans globally but, out of the circles of fashion, Inagawa is the rebirth of manga art, exploring the noughties and fantasy at the same time.
He’s unmistakably one of our favorite artists, and for those who happen to be in Tokyo at the moment, Jun Inagawa is currently having a much-awaited exhibition at DIESEL ART GALLERY. Though this is his second time exhibiting at Shibuya’s Diesel exhibition space, it showcases his evolution as an artist and his timeless style.
The exhibition, titled Born in the Madness, was held from November 18, 2022 to February 16, 2023. His newest work is shown, in a red-tinged room symbolic of his public persona, as well as snippets of his upcoming anime.
