DISKAH is an artist who starts from the street and skateboard culture of Tokyo, reflecting the reality and antithesis of people through free and improvised expression.The work includes iconic motifs such as the “Kaijyu(MonsterPainting)” series, “SONONAMO,” and “KillyBird,” which are somehow comical and familiar, but also essential to the viewer. The works are comical and familiar, yet they pose fundamental questions to the viewer. While seemingly pop and cute at first glance, the works also contain anxiety and frustration of society and individuals, a quiet anger toward unreasonableness, and a longing for a brighter future. By cuttingout scenes and moments experienced in the past and reconstructing them through the symbolism of discursive art, the artist intends to evoke the viewer’s own story.
At its core, CCConnecting Japan Vol.2 is a dialogue—an evolving exchange tracing the resonances, divergences, and shared sensitivities between the contemporary art scenes of Indonesia and Japan. The first chapter of this collaboration, “CCConnecting Japan – Colour of the Trap: A Solo Exhibition by Sir Dandy”, took place in June 2025 at DOWNLOW Gallery, Tokyo (curated by Kei Sato). What began as a cross-cultural encounter has since unfolded into an ongoing creative relationship. For this second edition, Canvas Confluence Collective and spaCCCe as CCC Home welcome three pivotal figures from Tokyo’ s underground art and skate movements to Jakarta. Their works converge in an exhibition that navigates the intersections of culture, movement, and identity.
DISKAH’ s freehand compositions and tactile lines embody decades of immersion in Tokyo’ s skate and street art worlds. His paintings and photographs pulse with lived energy—observing life from the street’ s edge, where rhythm and imperfection shape his visual language.
MOZYSKEY transforms alphabets, kana, and kanji into fluid abstraction. His graffiti practice dissolves the boundary between writing and image, creating a visual syntax that celebrates rebellion and reinvention within Tokyo’ s underground culture.
Lui Araki, a professional skateboarder and photographer, bridges motion and stillness. A member of ZOO YORK since the late 1990s, his photographic works capture transient moments—frames where emotion, space, and memory
converge. Together, these artists embody a creative continuum between Japan and Indonesia—an exchange grounded in movement, energy, and the shared pulse of urban life.
