Next Friday the 3rd September our show Tokyo Deluxe opens at Thinkspace Gallery in Culver City, LA. On our way back from Melbourne in April we made a detour to Tokyo which was the focus for our new paintings in this exhibition. All the paintings for the show are now finished…so we are now working night and day in out studio on an installation which will transform the Thinkspace project room into our own Tokyo oasis!! More to come soon…..
