About the event:

A memo from AMADOUR:

From the jazz-inspired "Before Grapes Ripen," a nostalgic fantasy written on Russian Hill in San Francisco while I was a hotel concierge, to "Two Hands Holding Me," inspired by new love and written in Sausalito at the church on a hill where I would practice piano as a teenager, the EP offers a glimpse into my experiences and emotions. The interludes of poetry in "Velvet Sky" and "Wild Mustangs" add a touch of insight into my life in Reno as a child. At the same time, the title track, "Western Movie Dream," evokes the magic of my first relationship and the beauty of the natural world.

This exhibition serves as a salutation to Tokyo, conveying Southern California's rich natural topography, urban visual culture, and cinematic romanticism through painting, sculpture, ceramics, and photography.

絵画や彫刻、陶芸、写真とそれぞれの手法によって表現された南カリフォルニアの自然豊かな地形や都会的な視覚文化、まるで映画のようなロマンティシズムが、ロサンゼルスから東京への挨拶を届けます。
