Astrophysicists refer to the terra incognita of the universe as "dark matter," that which can not be directly observed but exerts a force on everything around it. Okay Mountain is proud to present the works of six young artists from Tokyo, Japan, whose work seems shaped by a similar underlying tension. Nobuhiro Ishihara, Akino Kondoh, Ginjiro Mawatari, Ryo Mizuno, Genrou Miyake, and Daisuke Nagaoka share a sensibility that combines humor, mystery, and an odd melancholy unique to the megapolis of Tokyo. For several of these artists, it is their first time to exhibit in the United States. Working closely with the non-profit art space Tokyo Wonder-Site and Mizuma Art Gallery, Okay Mountain is excited to bring this collection of drawings, paintings, sculpture, and animation to Austin. This exhibition was curated by Justin Goldwater.
