Kaikai Kiki Gallery is pleased to present “Harmony,” Shoko Nakazawa’s long-awaited first major solo exhibition with the gallery. Nakazawa began her career as a graphic designer and illustrator, coming to build a dedicated fan base through the production of soft-vinyl monsters. For this exhibition, she has created more than 20 new paintings, including a monumental six-panel work that fills an entire gallery wall. Among these are depictions of her iconic monsters, Byron and Seedlas, as well as a portrait of a young girl who may represent the artist’s inner self.
