 “Just Love Me” is a group exhibit that features colorful, colossal international art similar to Takashi Murakami's work. More than 30 artists will display work that probes the complexity of human desire through many perspectives. Just Love Me is ushering in Royal/T's Art Space (space also includes a café and shop) grand re-opening on April 12.
Selected from the Susan Hancock Collection, “Just Love Me” explores the complexity of cuteness, and the yearning it reveals in artistic expression today. Cuteness is a gesture expressing an innocent desire to obtain unconditional love from someone who gives one's heart. Cuteness is not always sweet and jovial. It can also be monomaniac, enigmatic and obsessive accomplishing the craving under its optimistic surface-to be loved. “Just Love Me” is the title of a neon sign in the collection by Tracey Emin. This exhibition juxtaposes works not only by Japanese contemporary artists but also by various international artists who explore obsessive human desire including: Ghada Amer, Stephan Balkenhol, Louise Bourgeois, John Currin, Yayoi Deki, Tom Friedman, Jim Hodges, Izumi Kato, Hideaki Kawashima, Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Yoshitomo Nara, Mitsuhito Okamoto, Chris Ofili, Wilhelm Sasnal, Cindy Sherman, David Shrigley, Aya Takano, Fred Tomaselli, Kara Walker, Keisuke Yamamoto and Lisa Yuskavage.
