This exhibition is a retrospective of M.B. Goffstein's entire oeuvre in 100 paintings. The pictures were selected by Mika Sasaki, director of the Tonkachi Goffstein series. The 100 scenes, framed in various sizes, cover the entire gallery and create a picture book labyrinth. In addition, a famous scene from BROOKIE AND HER LAMB will be sculpted as a figure and shown for the first time in a completely limited edition. A shop and gallery in one, this is a special project that is a little different from the usual.
*All exhibited works are available for purchase. The artworks will be handed over after the exhibition.
