diesel art gallery is one of the many tokyoite galleries i visited. the gallery is part of the diesel shibuya store. art is displayed alongside women’s and men’s apparel and the brand’s furniture line, in unexpected harmony.

i found out about the show from a flyer i had picked up somewhere. it was called reality & fantasy and it was a collaboration of artists sarah illenberger and miho kinomura.

i love the kind of art that manages to put a smile on my face. and this show was exactly that!

sarah illenberger is a munich-born, central saint martins-educated, berlin-based artist. she does visual translations using various media. i love her playful approach and mesmerizing pieces. they make me consider trying to do similar stuff. i wouldn’t be as good as she is, but it’d be good exercise.
