"EUGENE STUDIO After the rainbow", a solo exhibition by EUGENE STUDIO, will be held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo from November 20 (Sat). EUGENE STUDIO also held a solo exhibition "THE EUGENE Studio 1/2 Century later." at the Shiseido Gallery in 2017. It is the artist studio of Japan-based artist Eugene Kangawa who is the youngest artist ever to have a solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, where Yayoi Kusama and Yoko Ono have had solo exhibitions and the first solo exhibition for an artist born after the Heisei period at a contemporary art museum.
