Acky Bright: Studio Infinity showcases the rising star’s unique kawakakkoii (cute and cool) style of illustration and product design. Conceived as Acky Bright’s design studio, the exhibition offers visitors an exceptional opportunity to meet the artist, witness his freestyle “live drawing,” and participate in making a series of manga-style murals. Performative and interactive, the exhibition will evolve as Acky Bright makes intermittent appearances in the gallery.
The exhibition will feature two new painting series by Acky Bright, KBK-18 and Ah-Un, that each draw inspiration from traditional Japanese art and theater. Underscoring the impressive range of his contemporary art practice, the show will also highlight Acky Bright’s promotional campaigns designed for major companies, including his multimedia designs for the nationwide “WcDonald’s” campaign, YOASOBI x Vaundy’s FRIES BEAT 2024 music video, and Squid Game coloring book illustrated for Netflix. The exhibition will preview during the weekend of Anime NYC, then open on October 4 – January 19, 2024.
Acky Bright is a distinguished Japanese manga artist and illustrator, renowned for his work with McDonald’s, Meta, DC Comics, Hasbro, and BMW. With his captivating kawakakkoii (cute and cool) characters and unique worldbuilding in manga-style, Acky’s artistry stands out as truly exceptional.
