Stencil Poet: Whispers of the Seasons -RoamCouch solo show

Sep 06 - Sep 16, 2025, NextStreet gallery

Known for his intricate stencil work that transforms urban walls into cinematic stories, Japanese street artist and Ukiyo-e painter RoamCouch (Ryo Ogawa) brings the fleeting beauty of the four seasons into the gallery.

In this new series, women and children appear as central figures, their quiet presence set against vivid cityscapes. Falling petals, drifting leaves, and shifting light trace the passage of time—moments of tenderness emerging from the grit of concrete.

Each work reflects RoamCouch’s meticulous technique, blending layers of stencils with the refined sensibilities of Ukiyo-e to create subtle textures, depth, and nuance.

The artist invites viewers to step into these ephemeral worlds, where street art meets poetic narrative, capturing the intimacy and vibrancy of life’s seasonal rhythms.
