His style has always evolved, creating works on the theme of the coexistence of conflicting things such as past and future, silence and movement, justice and evil. The largest size of the mural painting he worked on was 76m x 20m drawn at the request of the United Nations in Houston, Texas in 2021. 37 production sites throughout the United States. In addition, the figure of the original character "DR76", which has updated the traditional Japanese samurai, which is also his identity, in a modern style, has become popular selling out within minutes of its launch.

3LFTN apartment｜ The fusion of “Japanese painting Technique x Street Culture” and a new solo exhibition by up-and-coming artist Kohei Niino
An up-and-coming writer Kohei Niino holds a solo exhibition "Kohei Arano Solo" at "3LFTN apartment". His work to present “Japanese painting Technique x Street” uses raw materials such as glue, Japanese paper, and white powder as basic materials. Using these materials, which are traditional Japanese paintings from ancient times, we mix motifs that incorporate the influence of movies and street culture. In this exhibition, 10 to 15 works, mainly new works, including works that are conscious of the city of Shibuya, will be exhibited. I want you to actually feel the texture of Japanese paper and pigments.
Kohei Niino
Born in Tokyo. He is based in Tokyo and participates mainly in exhibitions. The theme is Japanese painting×Street, incorporating various pictorial elements, such as works inspired by street culture and movies, and life-size images rooted in everyday life, as well as screen compositions of margins and tagging (character) screens.

In recent years, attempts to share the history and experiences of sexual minorities in East Asia with the next generation have been occurring simultaneously and frequently. Listening to these voices must be a step in shaping a better future.
