AND COLLECTION Contemporary Art is pleased to announce the
Pez's first solo exhibition in Japan, "Happiness ," will be held.

There are various values ​​in our lives, such as material happiness, spiritual happiness, and happiness in many different ways, and people always want to keep their minds healthy and remain happy.
The Smiling Fish, drawn by Pez, has a unique and adorable smile and is an iconic character that represents the joy and happiness that people desire. Its positive words and inner charm have the power to lift the spirits of viewers.

Born in Barcelona, ​​Spain, he was influenced from an early age by the graffiti and logo art that appeared on city walls, and began working full-time as an artist in 1999. His catchphrase in the film, "Smiling Since 1999," succinctly expresses his art. His goal is to decorate city walls through his art creations and spread the universal language of "smiles" into people's hearts. Having traveled to many countries and continued his journey to a world where diverse histories, cultures, and races intersect, he conveys to us that smiles are universal and the source of happiness.

Above all, for Pez, it is people's smiles that motivate him to create, and drawing is the happiest moment for him.
Over the past few years, living environments have changed all over the world, and it could be said that we have reached a turning point that forces us to reconsider the value of "happiness." Pez's works are a fantasy world of playful joy, filled with colorful, pop, and original graffiti and smiling fish that bring a smile to your face at first sight. They are full of vitality and hope, and stimulate the hearts of those who see them.

The smiling fishes in the work overlap one another, and although they are unrealistic structures, they are closely connected to each other with clear, geometrical contours.
As times change and social values ​​change, connections and communities between people are the catalyst for smiles and an important foundation for creating a better future.

As human beings, we all coexist, accepting each other's imperfections and not perfection.
He also emphasizes the importance of understanding one's own fundamental values, cultivating more positive emotions, achieving an optimistic mental balance, and expanding new possibilities and sustainable happiness in one's future life.
