Since childhood, Akaike Ryoya has continued to paint motifs that have captured his heart with free-flowing lines. After participating in the art club in high school, he broadened his range of expression, pursuing a unique style of color using acrylic paints and colored pencils. In his portraits, he accurately captures the characteristics and expressions of his subjects with an impressive rhythm created by the strength and flexibility of his lines, and the eyes of his subjects, which are both sharp and gentle, exude a unique presence. For Akaike, whose creative drive lies in the joy of meeting and connecting with people through drawing, this first solo exhibition marks an important milestone.

赤池僚也（あかいけ・りょうや）は、幼少期から心にとまったモチーフを自由な線で描き続けてきました。高校の美術部での活動を経て表現の幅を広げ、アクリル絵具や色鉛筆を用いて独自の色彩を追求しています。線の強弱や伸びやかさによって生まれる印象的なリズムで人物画では特徴や表情を的確にとらえ、描かれる人物の目には、鋭さと優しさが同居し、独自の存在感を放っています。描くことを通じて人と出会い、つながる喜びを創作の原動力としてきた赤池氏にとって、初の個展となる本展は重要な節目となります。

The year 2025 will mark 10 years since the artist began presenting his works.
HERALBONY will be holding his first solo exhibition in three years, focusing on recent works that reflect his past journey and where he is now.

This project is a collaboration between musician Cornelius and 13 artists under contract with Heralbony. The song "Glow Within," carefully crafted by Cornelius, is available to experience alongside video in a space that allows you to listen closely to the "voice" hidden within the repeated sounds, providing an opportunity to feel closer to the source of creativity that resides within our daily routines.

To commemorate the release of the collaborative umbrellas with Wpc., works by six artists will be exhibited and sold, including the original artwork used on the products. At two venues, Iwate and Ginza, visitors will be able to experience special moments captured by the artists. Collaborative umbrellas between Wpc. and HERALBONY will be on display at both venues.

Photographer Yuriko Takagi captures the process of how art is created, focusing on the artist's "handiwork."
This exhibition reinterprets the handiwork of artists and displays ISAI shirts made using handwoven work by artist Hisashi Igarashi, as well as one-of-a-kind art pieces by five other artists.
The exhibition proposes new possibilities for art through works that embody the time and passion woven by the artists.
