Esow

Tokyo / Japan

Born in Tokyo in 1972, ESOW discovered graffiti at the age of 17 when he moved to the U.S. Immersed in the ethereal aura of the Edo period’s cultural legacy, he nurtured his artistic essence and developed a style that exists in the realm of the extraordinary. With strokes of ingenuity and hues of innovation, he has painted a visual symphony, whispering secrets that only the discerning eye can decipher.

His masterpieces unveil myriad facets of enchanting Japanese culture, conveyed through a kaleido- scope of vivid mediums. These works dance not only upon the canvas but also extend to murals, timber panels, and even transcend into the realm of three-dimensional wonder. Amidst the vibrant history of graffiti, ESOW offers a glimpse of ethereal grace nestled within its rugged embrace.

“The Varicolored World” encapsulates the essence of humanity at large. It can signify prosperity and exaggeration, or represent the unique dreams and fantasies that dwell within each of us.

In the exhibition “ESOW’S WONDERLAND,” the artist ESOW offers a candid lens into the life of a middle-aged Japanese man, presenting it with humor and whimsy. The exhibition showcases ESOW’s creative origins through a diverse array of mediums, including canvas, woodblock prints, and three-dimensional works. The goal of this exhibition is to inspire viewers to embrace more colorful and humorous imaginations in their everyday lives.
