Shin Koyama – Pika-chan 20 Nov – 23 Dec
Now based in Arita, the home of Japanese blue and white ceramics, Koyama continues to explore manga-style motifs with the comically grotesque.
Pika-chan is a creature born out of the nuclear disaster of Fukushima. Half angel of death and half kewpie doll, Pika-chan represents the artist’s anxiety about Japan’s heavy reliance on nuclear technology despite is unstable land mass.
