Exhibited works from Julian Klincewicz’s solo exhibition “Solo Tumult”, and exhibition-related goods are now on sale on by GASBOOK!

The exhibition, which was first shown in Japan, traveled to MARC JACOBS EVENT SPACE in Tokyo, RISE ABOVE GALLERY in Osaka, and SORTone FUKUOKA in Fukuoka, and closed with great success.

Julian Klincewicz is known for his work with Louis Vuitton, MARC JACOBS, Miu Miu, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Kanye West (Ye), Steve Lacy, and others.

While filming a commercial at Waimea Bay, one of the world’s top surf spots on the island of Oahu, Klincewicz witnessed the most giant wave of the year and became obsessed with documenting the spectacle: the intersection of Nature and man, stillness and movement, mind and body. Solo Tumult captures these opposing aspects and presents a metaphorical manifestation of human beings trying to find harmony in chaos. As an artist who is constantly spinning amidst the dizzying speed of the commercial realm, this allegory hints at Klincewicz’s personal stance and also renders a portrait of hectic modern life.
