DMOARTS will hold Heisuke Kitazawa's first solo exhibition "Interior Story" in three years. In this exhibition, the artist will use various pieces of furniture as motifs and develop a story by applying illustrations to the patterns of the furniture. New works by line drawings with calligraphy pen and ink, and some coloring with colored ink will be exhibited, proposing artworks that blend into daily life, as well as goods that match the warmth of the illustrations. The artist himself will introduce his works in a gallery talk during the exhibition. Please come and join us.

The twins are afraid of the outside and live quietly inside. The butler gently watches over them. Their cat is a carefree and free-spirited cat. One small event changes their lives. A small story told through the furniture and furnishings.
