NENE: Roam Free

Kouichi Fine Arts is delighted to present Roam Free, a solo exhibition of distinctive works by Nene. Featuring the artist’s iconic depiction of a girl in a straw hat, her face subtly veiled, the show invites viewers to explore the quiet mystery and emotion woven into Nene’s expressive world.

Nene is an artist who gracefully eludes convention, choosing to remain a mystery by withholding personal identifiers such as gender. In a world that often dulls the sense of wonder, Nene’s work rekindles a connection with the unspoiled curiosity of childhood—an inner voice that speaks in colors, silences, and sensations.

The exhibition “Roam Free” embodies the artist’s poetic philosophy of freedom and exploration—a quiet rebellion against fixed definitions and expectations. With pared-down compositions and vivid hues rendered in oils and acrylics, each piece offers a delicate balance of restraint and intensity, inviting the viewer into a realm where emotion takes precedence over explanation.

This exhibition is more than a viewing—it is an invitation to wander. To let go of certainty, to drift into feeling, and to rediscover the joy of seeing with an unclouded heart. Join us in experiencing the dreamlike clarity of Nene’s vision, where the edges of identity blur, and everything is free to begin again.
