Subject: PRESS RELEASE: Skymachine Announces Debut Exhibition of "Classical Kaiju Series" at Design Festa Gallery, Shibuya

TOKYO, JAPAN — Skymachine is pleased to announce the first public exhibition of the Classical Kaiju Series, running from June 6 to June 11, 2026, at the prestigious Design Festa Gallery in Shibuya, Tokyo.

The Classical Kaiju Series marks a significant artistic departure from traditional contemporary pop aesthetics. By intersecting the historic lineage of Japanese sofubi (soft vinyl) culture with the rigorous discipline of classical Western sculpture, the collection reframes iconic pop-mythology archetypes.

Stripped entirely of the vibrant, playful color palettes typically associated with the medium, the pieces utilize pristine, unadorned white vinyl. This deliberate reduction forces an exclusive focus on raw silhouette, structural grace, and stark emotive presence. The resulting figures evoke the weight of forgotten artifacts—monolithic remnants of a modern mythology discovered from a lost civilization.

Exhibition Information

On View: June 6 – June 11, 2026

Location: Design Festa Gallery, Shibuya

Address: 3-20-18 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, 150-0001

Admission: Complimentary to the public

Key Collection Elements
Monochromatic Purity: The exclusive use of white vinyl accentuates structural contours and shadow play, elevating commercial pop shapes into formal fine art.

Mythological Fusion: A conceptual bridge linking the scale of giant monster lore with the poise and tragedy of classical marble antiquities.

Physical Manifestation: The Shibuya presentation marks the inaugural opportunity for the public to experience the scale, material depth, and physicalpresence of these works in a curated space.

Skymachine had a busy summer,

A book of our complete short stories was collected for The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, A contemporay Library in Berlin, The films had over 100 festival appearances internationally winning multiple awards including Best Animation and Best International Short Film.

The comic was accepted by Quimby's in Chicago and Escapist Comics in Berkeley, and we're just waiting on final approval of the game demo I showed you, it was verified by Steam that the game works, I'm just finishing the store page. It was a period of a lot of sacrifices. I did nothing but work for almost a year.

As I'm coming out of this period, (I'm completing my art journey today, Oct 1) I hope my friends understand that I had to do this for my practice, it was the full harvest of four years of work, even longer with all my porrfiolo work starting from nothing to get here today.

As I'm waking back into normal life, I hopev you don't feel like we've totally disappeared. We had to do this. It was vital to prove to ourselvesv that it was worthwhile, and give Skymachine a chance to not give up on the results of the work we spent so much on.

I hope what I've done here is a testament to how far you can go if you don't give up, We not giving up now, its just that the cycle has ended and we have nothing more to prove. The fields are still too saturated, but no matter what, these works have now completely stood the test of time.
