Tokio Aoyama @ Hoxton Gallery at the Arch

I love a pop up. Especially where the pop art is right near my house and involves some amazing artistry. Strolling home after a heinous day of shopping with the flu, I was instantly revived when I stepped into the Gallery Under the Arch on Kingsland Road, hosting artwork belonging to the uber cool Tokio Aoyama. Skateboard Art, De La Soul and psychedelic reggaeton all fused together, Aoyama's artwork can only be described as one of a kind. Its almost as if he went on a mad acid trip and painted his dreams using every colour of the rainbow. I loved the way the artwork is totally irreverent, yet so fun. It sums up everything I love about my little corner of London. The exhibition is on for one more week only, so make sure you check it out! http://www.hoxtongallery.com/tokio-aoyama/
