Contemporary artist Mai Kishimoto’s solo exhibition “Mai Kishimoto Exhibition” will be held at Isetan Shinjuku Art & Frame! !
……
Mai Kishimoto’s solo exhibition “Kishimoto Mai Exhibition” will be held at Art & Frame on the 6th floor of the Isetan Shinjuku Main Building from September 18th (Wednesday) to September 24th (Tuesday). Kishimoto Mai started drawing after planning a program, and won the Excellence Award in the small piece category at the Seishi Exhibition. He also frequently appears on NTV’s “Uchi no Gaya ga Sumimasen!” as a new generation art entertainer, and has received high praise from people in the art world who say that he is “reminiscent of
Basquiat.” During the program, the work was sold for 1.1 million yen by SHOWROOM Co., Ltd.’s president Yuji Maeda.
Last year, he held his first large-scale solo exhibition, “Barometer 75,” at Ginza Mitsukoshi, JR Nagoya Takashimaya, and other locations. I started my career as an artist in earnest. His works, which he draws directly with his bare hands without using a brush, overflow with colorful colors and passion and overwhelm the viewer.
This is my second solo exhibition at the Isetan Shinjuku store, following last year, and approximately 40 items including original paintings and prints will be on display and for sale. Please come and see many of Mai Kishimoto’s energetic works at the venue.

[Comment from Mai Kishimoto]
Thankfully, two years have passed since I was able to hold a solo exhibition at a department store.
I’m still trying to become a new Kishimoto Mai, and I’m trying new ways of expression every day!
Please feel the energy from Mai Kishimoto’s works in 2024!
