Tokyo based artist Kochiro Takagi recently opened his solo exhibition entitled “Infinite Light” at Maki Gallery in Tokyo, Japan on September 17th. He is showcasing his distinctive works of art ranging from the past to the newest mixed media art by blending techniques like stenciling, painting, and embroidery.

“The world is now in a dark period of time due to the pandemic of COVID-19,” says Koichiro about the title of his show. “That’s especially why, I think, that we need light to clear the darkness and I gave my exhibition the title ‘Infinite Light’. Besides, I have created many art pieces with the theme of light, hope, and dreams, to inspire positive emotions since the beginning of this year. That’s another reason why I called it “Infinite Light”.

If you are in the area, please make sure to stop by his incredible exhibition. In addition to the exhibition, we will soon be releasing brand new stencil works created by Kochiro Takagi. Don’t miss the opportunity to purchase his incredible artwork!
