Higuchi Yuko CIRCUS
LANGUAGES AVAILABLE: 日本語 한국어 简体字 繁體字 ภาษาไทย Bahasa Indonesia

It's just too amazing! Discover the world of circus filled with cats, girls and many mysterious creatures!

Higuchi Yuko CIRCUS
The "Higuchi Yuko CIRCUS" exhibition held at FUKUOKA ART MUSEUM from Thursday 24th December is a large solo exhibition by Higuchi Yuko, a famous artist who has limitless ideas on creating a world between fantasy and reality. Exhibits include over 500 pieces of paintings done in 20 years. With the theme of "circus" and the delicately depicted cats, girls, mushrooms, and strange creatures, there isn't simply cuteness, but also a touch of darkness. The world of circus presented is a mixture of fun and sadness, along with mysterious accordion melody and circus tents hung on the ceiling, eventually drawing everyone into "Higuchi's world"! Since reservation is required for the admission, visitors are able to enjoy the exhibition in a comfortable way. As you enjoy more of the delicate and dynamic artwork, you might find yourself getting addicted to them! Moreover, it will be fun to look for Higuchi's "hidden" messages and illustrations drawn at the venue♪
