Japan × Singapore: Boundaryless Urban Canvas
August 20 (Wed) – September 2 (Tue), 2025
@Daimaru Tokyo ART GALLERY 1 & 2

The international exhibition ‘Trespassers’ was held at Daimaru Tokyo Art Gallery, uniting 10 leading street artists from Singapore and Japan. For Daimaru—an institution rarely associated with “street” aesthetics—this was a landmark moment that went beyond art sales, aiming to dissolve the boundaries between street and fine art while creating a cultural bridge between two vibrant urban scenes.

Blending graffiti, murals, fine art, and digital media, the exhibition reimagined the gallery as a boundaryless space where the pulse of the street met the refinement of contemporary art. Audiences responded with enthusiasm, and the show achieved both artistic recognition and commercial success.

A highlight of the opening night was a live-painting collaboration by Zero, Sense, and Tadaomi Shibuya(video). Their shared canvas raised 5,000 SGD, with proceeds donated to Mercy Relief, a Singapore-based humanitarian organization that provides emergency response, disaster relief, and sustainable development assistance to communities affected by crises in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.

This act of solidarity transformed Trespassers into more than an exhibition. It became a testament to how art can move beyond the gallery walls—bridging cultures, fostering empathy, and delivering tangible aid to those in need.
