Pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new paintings by Zelan at Bar foxy, an authentic bar in Yonbancho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.
Date: May 16 (Fri) - June 6 (Fri), 2025
Opening hours: 17:00 - 24:00 (irregular holidays - please check the bar's website)
Venue: Bar foxy (I-S Yonbancho Bldg. 4F, 4-13 Yonbancho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo)
This exhibition "RKG" will feature a series of works based on the story "Random King of Gold," a fictional future world Zelan is envisioning with AI.
The semi-abstract images, featuring spherical floating machines called "cyphers" (meaning "code" or "dark machines") and human/android-like beings, are created using techniques where intention and chance intersect, such as generative AI and paint transfer techniques ex. decalcomania.
You will enjoy viewing these works, which gradually take on your own "contours of meaning" depending on your awareness and reaction.
About the venue:
Bar foxy is a unique fusion of bar and art space.
Owner Hitoshi Sasaki, a first-rate bartender and photographer, also has a deep knowledge of subcultures and fashion, has cultivated a relaxed space with a cultural flavor.
