AM last attended a comprehensive show from Japanese artist Mr. about this time last year in New York (covered), so it’s nice to see that it is time for another solo exhibition. Held this time closer to home at the Galerie Perrotin’s Hong Kong branch and set to open on October 4th, Sweet! will feature his acrylic on canvas works of preadolescent girls often seen in Japanese sub-culture from manga, anime, to video games. It seems the former assistant to Murakami has also imbued some Western street art and graffiti references into some of the work as well…
