Britney TOKYO, the most famous nail artist in the U.S. and a trendsetter, challenges contemporary art for the first time.
Britney’s world is a very unique and fascinating one. It is red, white, and colorful with a pop style but it also coexists with grotesque elements, blood and eyeballs like in a horror movie.
For this exhibition Britney Tokyo uses canvases, FRP sculptures, ceramics, among other materials as form of expression to unveil remarkably original art pieces that goes beyond nail art.
We welcome you to a journey into Britney’s World! Transiting through nail art and flying high into the universe of contemporary art.
Artist’s comment
“I have been drawing on tiny canvases. These tiny canvases are ephemeral, lasting only a few weeks. For some, nail art may not be art but I perceive nail art as a brilliant form of contemporary art. I proudly invite you to come and see my art, which for this exhibition is expressed on a larger and long-lasting canvases!”
