We are pleased to announce the first solo exhibition in Japan by Glasgow, Scotland-based artist Al White, entitled "Auto Outer Rail."

Through a variety of media, he constructs vast, imaginative worlds absent from humanity, which can be seen in the covers of Glasgow record label 12th Isle and the zines and prints released by his own project "CRUDEX." In recent years, fragments of these worlds can also be seen in his client work, such as the graphics he has provided for Stone Island Shadow Project and Brain Dead. Filled with the joy of sharing, his work, which incorporates updated cyberpunk and sci-fi elements without drowning in nostalgia, always offers fresh surprises.

This exhibition will feature screen prints, litho prints, and mono prints, all of which will be on display for the first time. In addition to the exhibited works, new merchandise will also be available for purchase at the venue. We look forward to seeing you there.
