Atomica Gallery and Comica Festival are excited to present the first ever exhibition of Japanese artist Junko Mizuno's work in the UK! Born in Japan and currently residing in San Francisco, Mizuno is a self-taught artist who is recognized for her unique style of powerful and erotic female imagery. Juxtaposing childlike cuteness and horror, her psychedelic female characters exude positive energy and playful sexuality. Submerged in 70s Japanese cute-culture whilst growing up in Tokyo, Mizuno is also inspired by countless other pop-cult sources.

Bringing together a varied collection of works from throughout her esteemed career, Belle will be a rare opportunity for British audiences to view and purchase work from the cult artist. As well as original paintings, visitors will be treated to rare limited edition prints, iconic gig silk-screen posters for bands including Mudhoney and Swans.
