Exhibition “Infinite City by Duncan Swann”

Dec 06, 2025 at 12:00pm ~ Dec 19, 2025 at 6:30pm

“Infinite City” is a series of paintings that bring together images of everyday life in Tokyo, people from old photographs, and figures from museum collections. This series uses human figures as symbols for the countless lives that intersect in the city. Swann returns to the human figure after years of abstraction, using oil and water-based paints. He create dynamic compositions that reflect the subtle forces, chance encounters of urban life. The work is a love letter to Tokyo, a city of infinite streets, neon lights, and untold stories.
