KOUSUKE SHIMIZU × Jungle Emperor VOL.3

The third art collaboration between Jungle Emperor and KOUSUKE SHIMIZU. Art figures and merchandise are on sale.

Leo's art figure can now be said to be KOUSUKE SHIMIZU's masterpiece.

This third work begins with the desire to center on emotions and impulses, and its themes are three keywords: "love," "passion," and "sparkle."

I aimed for a pop and chaotic finish with direct emotional expression and distortion using manga expression techniques, which is most familiar to the Japanese people who have a cultural background in manga.

The 3 new figures and merchandise (short-sleeved Tee, long-sleeved Tee) will be displayed and sold at COMMON BASE GALLERY (Shibuya/Jingumae).

Only the figures on display will be sold by lottery online, and merchandise will be available for purchase on the spot.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Jungle Emperor:

A story that spans three generations of the white lions "Panja," "Leo," and "René," the king of the jungle. The main character, Leo, has a strange fate and after living in the human world, he goes to the jungle. When Leo sees the African jungle for the first time, he despises the barbaric world of killing each other, but builds an animal kingdom to protect the weaker animals. He will grow up to become the king of the jungle. The story depicts Leo's growth in a fun and powerful way, but at the root of it is the idea of ​​the natural world: ``All living things die, and life repeats itself over many generations, but nature remains as it was.'' The theme of eternity runs through it.
