For this annual solo exhibition, Dehara continues the design aesthetic from his 2017 "Not Human" show, also held at Paradise. He presents a host of highly distinctive anthropomorphic animal characters, forming the "About Animals" series of Sofubi figures that shares its name with the exhibition. While centered on the anthropomorphic animal theme, Dehara unleashes his signature mix-and-match creativity, employing a wildly imaginative perspective and bold, vibrant colors. His unrestrained creativity, which could be described as a wild horse galloping freely, is on full display throughout this exhibition.
▼ For collectors who adore Dehara-san and are captivated by his bold, humorous, and exaggerated design characteristics, seeing the pieces in this exhibition will likely spark the thought, "Wow, what a true genius!"
