Osaka’s original graf legend Zen One is celebrating his first solo show over at the Galaxy Gallery over in the Misono building in Namba. (Both subjects are worthy of their own posts!)
The closing party is on the night of the 24th! So if any of you are planning to head to the Chopstick gallery tomorrow at the Downtown building and you have some time before midnight, do yourself a favor, head over, and crack open a couple beers with an original Kansai street legend!
Here’s a small sampling of how Zen transformed the entire space into a retrospect of his life in bikes and graf over the last couple decades:
ZENONEさんのでっかいピース！この環境でみんながゆっくりのんどくわ！
Everyone relaxing in front of Zen’s piece!
もっと素敵な言葉がないわ！
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
天井にFIXIE!
Fixies affixed to the ceiling!
フローが針金になって、面白い！光と影の遊びもえぇかんじ！
Sweet metal work flows!

I swear I’ve seen these brats around before…
ペーントのボム！

ボーリング場のレーンの木材でできているいす！やばすぎ！
Built from an old bowling alley that went bust! Nice lane wood…
…そして、ボーリングボールももちろん利用できる！
…and of course the ball from said lane. You know what House of Pain sez tho; “it ain’t a crime if you don’t get caught!”
