Beautiful paintings of glitchy NES screens will star in Tokyo art gallery through December.
It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart.
And now Shun Okada, an artist from Tokyo, has taken his appreciation for Nintendo’s past glitches to a whole other level.
While Okada has had work featured in galleries, from December 6 he will hold his first solo exhibition, titled Retrojective.
The exhibition will be held in Tokyo’s TAV Gallery, a museum that places a spotlight on unusual and alternative art.
