"The term reflects her unique method of applying spray paint, bringing depth, complexity, and a painterly sensibility to her work. This exhibition presents 21 new spray paintings based on the theme "See-Through," delicately depicting moments where humor and introspection intersect through the coalescence of everyday objects and surreal scenes. The word "See-Through" harbors a mysterious meaning that serves to stimulate Stickymonger's imagination."
"In terms of technique, the artist works primarily with spray paint - a medium traditionally associated with street art and graffiti - while exploring its potential as a contemporary fine art medium. Rather than merely filling surfaces, she creates unpredictable lines, splatters, and textures by manipulating pressure and blending water- and solvent-based spray paints. Drawing inspiration from master painters, including the layered techniques of Renaissance oil painting and the surface-scraping methods of Gerhard Richter, she describes this experimental approach as "Spray Painterly.""
NANZUKA presents "See-Through," a solo exhibition of new works by Stickymonger at NANZUKA UNDERGROUND, marking the artist's first solo show in the main gallery and second overall with the gallery. Stickymonger blends reality and imagination, innocence and horror, drawing on Surrealism, late 1970s–1990s films, and Japanese manga and anime. The artist works primarily with spray paint, manipulating pressure and mixing water- and solvent-based paints to create unpredictable lines, splatters, and textures. The experimental "Spray Painterly" approach references Renaissance layering and Gerhard Richter's surface techniques. The exhibition features 21 spray paintings exploring humor, introspection, and surreal coalescences of everyday objects.
