Silent Emotions
漫画の夢 MANGA DREAMS of Chuuu (JP)
SILENT EMOTIONS explores deep, quiet, and unadorned feelings that emerge through the abstraction of emotion. The works open a space in which both the artist’s and the viewer’s inner states can surface, without being fixed or defined.
In his portraiture, Chuuu separates “situation” from “substance,” shifting the focus toward physical presence rather than narrative context. By removing situational markers, the works loosen predetermined meanings and resist singular readings.
This approach invites an open relationship with the viewer. Each work becomes a site for projection and interpretation, allowing for a form of role-play shaped by individual perception. Viewers are encouraged to engage directly with the pieces and to enter a quiet dialogue with them.

Live: Ken Mutant and Chuuu (Liquid Analogue Visuals)
Chuuu (* 1975 in Kyoto, Japan) is based in Berlin since 2003. His work centers on the theme of minimal emotion, articulated through a restrained visual language. A quiet gaze and a sense of inner depth, reminiscent of ancient Japanese...
KUNSTMEISTER aka ALESH ONE (*1972, former Czechoslovakia) is an aerosol artist, illustrator, and curator from Hamburg. He lives and works between Hamburg and Prag.
Rooted in urban culture, Kunstmeister has developed a practice that moves fluidly between artistic production and curatorial work, while shaping contexts for collective activity.
Since the late 1980s, he has worked primarily in self-organized and temporary spaces, where artistic processes develop through presence and exchange.
For him, urban art functions as an open field that brings together painting, illustration, spatial interventions, music, and process-driven forms. Central to this approach is the idea of art as a social practice.
As a curator, Kunstmeister has initiated and contributed to numerous projects and platforms, including Streetart Meeting Berlin, Urban Art Clash, Kunstmeister, Kunstfestival Hamburg Reeperbahn, Berlin Graphic Days, Graffiti Research Lab, as well as artist residencies and collaborations with spaces such as Platoon Kunsthalle and Kunsthaus Tacheles.
