Osamu Watanabe, a leading expert in sublimating sweets deco technology into art, will hold his first solo exhibition at gallery UG Tennoz.
The profound exhibition title “Ultra Sweets”, which is based on the image of “Ultra Baroque”, is also a sign of Osamu Watanabe’s new ambition for this exhibition.
“Ultra-Broque” is a style in which the Baroque architectural style inherited from the suzerain, Spain, has undergone a surprising and unique change in Latin American countries such as Mexico and Peru by mixing it with the local aesthetic sense.
At the exhibition, in addition to his past masterpieces, a total of 6 meters of “Birds and Animals in the Flower Tree”, which was produced over a year and was produced over a year, will be unveiled for the first time. Keep an eye on the ever-evolving art of Osamu Watanabe.
