The exhibition is inspired by a lyric from the song "Slumberland" by the Japanese rock band King Gnu, and the artist's work has also appeared on the cover of the band's album Sympa. In this exhibition, we present the artist's latest paintings. For Sano, both the plants in bonsai and the faces on the street take on an emotional form. He describes his way of capturing such imagery as "ZOOM"—like the zoom of a camera lens or an onomatopoeia for speeding—while his bright colours and appropriation of artistic imagery reveal a distinctively Japanese Pop sensibility.
