Flower artist Nicolai Bergmann presents “LET’S MAKE TOKYO SMILE,” a collaborative exhibition with Los Angeles-based urban artist Jimmy Paintz from January 27 through February 6, 2024 at the Nicolai Bergmann Flowers & Design Flagship Store in Tokyo.
His thoughts of happiness, freedom, and hope will be presented here in Tokyo through his floral designs.
Nicolai Bergmann met Jimmy through longtime friend and world renowned chef, Nobuyuki Matsuhisa, based in Los Angeles, where he visited his art studio in West Hollywood at the beginning of 2023. This was the beginning to their collaborative project.
In this exhibition, the iconic smiles by Jimmy Paintz stands together with Nicolai Bergman’s large flower installation in the shape of a smile. We welcome everyone to view the collaborative artwork and unique pieces made by the two artists, bound to evoke inspiration through color, shape and good vibes.
For this exhibition, Jimmy was highly inspired by the city, people, nature, and culture of Japan during his stay in Japan at the Nicolai Bergmann Hakone Gardens premises, and in just one month, he created more than 60 pieces of artwork.
The new collection is painted in a brighter color palette than this usual artwork, implementing his messages of happiness and hope for the future.
