GR gallery is pleased to announce Anonymous Heroes, the second solo exhibition of Japanese artist Shigeki Matsuyama with the gallery, from February 16 until March 9, 2024. A total of 12 new works, executed with the artist signature technique, will be included in the show. With a fondness for the exciting and disturbing emotional fluxes that charge inconspicuousness in the virtual world, Anonymous Heroes acts as a portrait, at times even a critique, to those intemperate moments of pharisaic ostentation hidden behind a screen. Analyzing and depicting, Matsuyama weaves dystopian influences with the autobiographical to compose imaginative scenes imbued with realism. This series grows out of the artist’s inspiration taken from things and perceptions around him, things like an omnipresent sense of unease and distrust towards new media like Internet and social media.
