CULT
AN EXHIBITION OF NEW WORK BY YOZO KELENMI
We’d like to update you on one of the rising stars of the Tokyo art scene. Yozo Kelenmi emerged from Harajuku in the mid-2020s. His debut exhibition What If opened at Gallery Harajuku in September 2025 and sold out immediately to some of Hong Kong’s, Taiwan’s and Tokyo’s most influential collectors.
His style, post-Shibuya punk, takes 2000s Tokyo street culture, punk, graffiti, gangs and Y2K futurism into a near-future urban setting. The technique is immaculate, the backgrounds dense with hidden manga references and story-filled details. Each painting stands alone, but together they form a single connected universe.
His Instagram .__ has grown rapidly since his debut, with an engagement rate that outpaces artists with ten times his following. A trajectory we believe reflects his talent, vision and potential role as a defining voice of the modern Tokyo art scene.
His second exhibition, CULT, opens in Tokyo, autumn 2026. We’re documenting work as it comes in, and wanted to let our collectors know that the digital catalogue will be ready in September. Email [email protected] to join the waiting list.
