Exhibition description:

"It's A Bag Of Grease", East London MC Jammer shouts in the intro of last year's heavy-hitter track "Lick off your face". "A Bag Of Grease" is also the title of Tokyo-based graphic designer PMKFA's first solo-show on European soil. Like in the Jammer's track there's no holds barred. The white walls of Gallery Vallery in Barcelona will be covered by both new and old work of PMKFA. 
The work will take you on a trip filled with overnatural animals and beings, decaying typography, next-school music graphics, all of which filtered through the glasses of violent music from the poor areas of London, the shameless pretentiousness of the 80's, old LSD art and the forgotten visions of the sci-fi future that never happened.

What you will see is a visual celebration of sparkling colors, clean lines and vivid airbrush style strokes, all loosely connected under the theme of "A Bag Of Grease". The phrase is explained as something both violent and cheesy through PMKFA's particular sense of humour. The media span from posters to walldrawings, sweatshirts and some three-dimensional objects, combined into an organized chaos, not far away from a boy's bedroom wall.

Also on display will be "Third Vision", the latest line from PMKFA's clothing label It's Our Thing (co-founded by Sweatshop Union in Osaka).

Once heavily focused on music graphics, PMKFA's last two years can be seen as the expanded adventure into new fields.

He is also known as the co-founder/designer of the clothing label It's Our Thing that has created a stir in the graphic garments business since its launch in 2006.
