Description -
Artists born in 80's are called the "Jelly Generation" in China by material wealth and their mentality. What about Japan's "Jelly generation"? Japan had experienced rapid economic growth and suffered a burst of the economic bubble a little bit earlier than China. The "Jelly Generaion" of Japan are very much affected by the changes.
This is a group exhibition of Japanese artists from the 80‘s generation, who are getting a lot of attention both in Japan and abroad lately. They express their creativity in a fantastic, ironic and sweet way.
It is not easy to find "happiness" by money or material nowadays. However, their artworks allow us to realise that happiness is always around you.
If you are happy, clap your hands. Why don't we clap our hands together?

This group show by Japanese artists born in the 80s (of the "Jelly Generation") creatively expresses their ironic takes on happiness. Is it measured by wealth and material goods? These artists' colorful artwork remind viewers that happiness is indeed all around us.
