At The Little Hut, a rich collection of paintings, both large and small, is on display. As one's gaze continuously shifts from one painting to another, one can also discover the three-dimensional creations Dehara Yukinori has placed among them, which not only adds to the enjoyment of the exhibition but also showcases a strong sense of fun through the interplay between paintings and three-dimensional works. Additionally, a photo booth is set up in the space, an absolute must-try for visitors!
▼ It's worth noting that Dehara Yukinori's first works crafted from iron are also making their debut!
Next, we step out of The little hut and turn left into Paradise. Here, the focus is on Dehara Yukinori's soft vinyl toys. In addition to the new color versions of About Animals vol.2, which were highly popular at TTF recently, there are also numerous characters reassembled by Dehara Yukinori with incredibly avant-garde concepts. Not only can you see brand new designs, but you can also deeply feel the various "Character Portraits" that echo the theme of this exhibition through the rich collection of soft vinyl works – it's truly spectacular! With each character viewed, one seems to feel Dehara Yukinori's distinctive humor and creative energy even more profoundly.
