Close Encounters Group Show Tokyo

It's been a long and hard road organising this show, but we have enjoyed every minute of it! 2 shows in Asia in the same month is pretty nuts, but it was the only way we could do it....UKAdapta have organised two shows; one in Tokyo this Thursday and one in Hong Kong, next Thursday! If you are in Tokyo, please go check it out!

Best Ever

Cyclops

David Bray

D*Face

Matt Small

Sickboy

Vesna Parchet

Word To Mother

Adapta Gallery’s third curated project will be held on November 12th - November 29th 2009, with a show in Tokyo called Close Encounters. The show consists of 8 British-based artists, including Best Ever, Cyclops, D*Face, David Bray, Matt Small, Sickboy, Word To Mother and Vesna Parchet.

The variety of work on show is eclectic, and that is precisely the reason why we chose them in the first place. From D*Face's two-dimensional graphic art to the rich textures of emerging artist Vesna Parchet's styled character-based paintings, a plethora of mediums, emotions and messages are employed for the viewer to digest.
This particular show is very close to our hearts as we are finally able to put together an amazing line up of artists to produce works for our Tokyo readers and Japanese collectors to see in person. We have been interviewing and working on projects with so many talented British creatives over the years and to finally curate our own show in Tokyo for our main audience is a true honour.
On the opening night, we will also have special guests: Usugrow, Jeff Soto, Shohei Takasaki, Yoshiki & Nagayama also showing their works.
