Chihiro Nagashima Exhibition "My Safe Room" Opens at Shinjuku Takashimaya

The "Chihiro Nagashima Exhibition ―My Safe Room―" will be held at the 10th Floor Art Gallery of Shinjuku Takashimaya from April 22 (Wednesday) to May 4 (Monday, public holiday), 2026. Note that the final day closes at 4:00 PM.

The exhibition brings together works by Chihiro Nagashima, primarily featuring girls as motifs. Her paintings layer casual, everyday imagery and express it through vivid, vibrant colors. While the works carry a sweet and pop atmosphere at first glance, they also emanate a sense of unease within their expansive pictorial space—creating a deeply layered worldview that is distinctly her own.

Featured Works (Selected Examples)

Memory of the Beautiful Plate at Takadanobaba
"Memory of the Beautiful Plate at Takadanobaba" H41cm × W31.8cm

Butterfly Vase
"Butterfly Vase" H73cm × W50cm
