Following a Converse collaboration and various custom takes on iconic BMW silhouettes, Joshua Vides now readies his first solo exhibition in Japan titled “Commercial Break.” Predominately known thus far for his black-and-white paint marker works from his “Reality to Idea” series, Vides’ upcoming “Commercial Break” exhibition marks a clear shift and evolution in his pop art style, presenting mounted sculptures, limited-edition silkscreens, and canvas works in full color.
The “break” from his traditional output functions as both a literal and metaphorical intermission between his projects, as if sandwiched between TV programming.
In addition to the exhibition, various original collectibles will also be available for purchase including rugs, skateboard decks, and collaborative T-Shirts with Japan’s heritage streetwear brand WTAPS. As a coffee enthusiast, Vides will also be collaborating with KITH TREATS in Miyashita Park who will be serving coffee-flavored ice cream using beans sourced by Vides himself.
“Commercial Break” will be held from April 29 to May 15 at the SAI venue in RAYARD MIYASHITA PARK. The WTAPS collaboration will be available at the venue as well as online on Joshua Vides’ website.
