The world's first color works to be unveiled for the first time. Joshua Vidas, who is currently the talk of the town, held a large-scale solo exhibition at SAI!

In this age of social networking, it is not uncommon for a single post to change a person's life forever. One such artist is Joshua Vides, an American artist based in Southern California.

When he posted a hand-painted Air Force 1 on Instagram, it immediately became the talk of the town and was ordered by NBA superstar LeBron James! He has since become a household name in the contemporary art scene, providing works of art to contemporary artist Takashi Murakami. His momentum has continued, and he has collaborated with a succession of well-known brands such as Supreme, Off-White, Fendi, and New Balance, making his popularity unshakeable.

The season is now. Joshua Vidas, one of the most popular artists of our time, will hold his first large-scale solo exhibition in Japan, "Commercial Break," at the gallery "SAI" in Shibuya from April 29 (Fri.).

This exhibition, "Commercial Break," will consist of colorful works, which are a change from his previous "Reality to Idea" series, in which he painted with black markers on a white background. This new series of works is a more personal evolution of his previous works, which were produced as a new interpretation of Pop Art.

Having collaborated with a wide variety of media, this work serves as a conscious blank between the ( and ) TV projects, creating a vivid, pure, and somewhat narrative worldview that reflects his ideas as a visual artist more than ever before. The result is a vivid, pure, and somewhat narrative worldview that more than ever reflects his vision as a visual artist.

WTAPS® x Joshua Vides ¥9,680

The exhibition's original goods include a limited lineup of T-shirts, rugs, skateboard decks, and more. Of particular note is the collaboration T-shirt with "WTAPS®," which will be sold exclusively at the venue. KITH TREATS, also located in Miyashita Park, will be selling ice cream made with coffee beans supervised by Joshua, so be sure to check it out as well.

All of the works to be exhibited are new. They will also present wall-mounted sculptures to accompany the canvas works.

Joshua's Instagaram has already given us a glimpse of his work, and the art world is buzzing with excitement as this is the first time his unprecedented style has been shown in Japan. This exhibition is the envy of the world, and since opportunities like this are rare, be sure to include it in your GW schedule!
