Artist
Good Morning Town began as a tattoo artist and now presents a variety of works in a unique way. His paintings move from three-dimensional body-hugging designs to two-dimensional planes, popping out from the canvas. His works, which sometimes look like reliefs or toys, stimulate people's sense of touch as much as their eyes. His paintings, which are full of tiny characters, are made by applying thick layers of acrylic paint one by one. In this exhibition, he takes a step away from this approach and presents a larger body of work in a variety of media.
BOILA IS EVERYWHERE

"Hide, hide. Murikarak Boila (MORIKA AND BOILA!)" "BOILA IS EVERYWHERE"is an exhibition that experiments with the scalability of the work and introduces a new character, ‘Boila’.
On the first floor, the artist's children's books and dinosaur objects are presented for the first time in this exhibition. Six or seven years ago, the artist began to notice shapes hiding in objects, reminiscent of rabbit ears in the shape of flower petals. He found and collected rabbits hiding in our everyday life, and one by one, the scenes became a book. The hiding Boila has his face tightly hidden, but his long, fluffy ears stick out, as if asking to be found. You can feel the artist's playful gaze as he searches for him in unexpected places, such as a child's tiny teeth, a duck's beak, and a dinosaur's horn.
The second floor is where the series began, with Boila hiding in the sunflowers. Armed with a cuteness that will make young and old alike smile, he hides in the sunflower with his petal-like ears sticking out. The three-dimensional wooden sculpture allows visitors to move it around to discover him. In addition, the artist filled the large walls and windows with murals, creating a large space that is not just an artwork, but a large space. This is an attempt to expand the scope of his work to a new challenge, moving away from small canvases or tattoo designs. Goodmorningtown hopes that visitors will enjoy the works as they are, and that they will have fun and laugh as they discover the hidden Boila throughout the exhibition.
In another room on the second floor, Morika is secretly hiding in a tote bag. The cat tower, the cat's scratch marks, and the cat's meow are all part of Morika's room, decorated by the artist himself. Goodmorningtown hopes that visitors will enjoy the artwork as it is, and have fun and laughter as they discover Boila and Morika hiding throughout the exhibition.
