Jinsei Gal-iro: QOL (The Gal-Toned Life: Quality of Life)
Can healing be loud, glittery, and neon? Artist and former gyaru RICO RnR' says yes—and invites you to explore that radiant truth at 'Jinsei Gal-iro: QOL', a bold exhibition merging gyaru aesthetics with Eastern spiritual traditions. Hosted at UltraSuperNew KURA in Shibuya, this immersive experience blends the high-octane energy of gyaru culture with the ancient philosophies of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water). Through scent, sound, color, texture, and human connection, the exhibition explores how self-expression and emotional energy shape our Quality of Life. RICO RnR' says: 'I believe healing doesn't have to be silent or pale—it can be neon, sparkly, chaotic, messy, and sacred. This is a reflection of my own contradictions: the collision of gyaru culture and spiritual practice, chaos and peace, surface and depth. Through art, scent, sound, touch, color, and human connection, I aim to create a space where visitors return to their senses, their elements, and their inner colors. Your life's palette—your QOL—is sacred. Your energy is art.' Expect a multisensory healing space where chaos meets calm, sparkle meets soul, and contradiction becomes sacred. A love letter to the gyaru spirit and a radical reimagining of wellness, Jinsei Gal-iro is not just an art show—it's a journey back to your inner palette. Visit the Opening Party on Friday 8th August from 6pm-9pm at UltraSuperNew KURA in Shibuya.,

"Shape Of Light" Art Exhibition
UltraSuperNew will present an exhibition titled 'Shape of Light | 光の姿' by contemporary abstract artist Lin Syouki, originally from China, at its alternative space KURA. This eighth installment at KURA will showcase Lin's works centered around the theme of a 'dialogue of light' between the viewer and the artwork, exploring the fragility of perception and existence. Influenced by the theory of spatialism, Lin Syouki has long focused on the interplay of perception, light, and space. Born in China and based in Tokyo since 2018, she merges geometric forms such as circles and squares with spontaneous abstract expression. Her latest works incorporate retroreflective materials, originally studied in 19th-century optical research and now commonly used in sportswear. These materials cause the artworks to shift in appearance based on the viewer's angle and lighting, creating a continuously evolving visual experience. Exhibition Schedule: Opening Reception: May 30, 6pm–9pm Exhibition Period: May 31 – June 14 Open Hours: 2pm – 7pm Saturdays: 11am – 7pm Closed: Sundays and Mondays UltraSuperNew KURA 2-6-18 Higashi, Shibuya-ku
