Art and design meets fashion as BEAMS T and Flexx Lex collaborate with Japanese artist MAW to bring an innovative show to London gallery space.
Following on from the success of exhibitions in Taiwan and London, BEAMS T are excited to welcome Tokyo-based artist “MAW” into the fold for their third edition entitled ‘CROOK’, launching this September in conjunction with UK based art lifestyle brand Flexx Lex.
MAW
Tokyo
Japanese
From street art to shop murals, MAW’s roots are in graffiti, staying anonymous in the streets of Tokyo; his iconic graphic persona named “MikeL”, which is somewhat yet familiar, reflecting MAW’s humorous nature.
‘CROOK’ showcases MAW’s “crooked” take on the world; the characters drawn by
MAW do not conform to any outlines and change facial expressions in a phant-
asmagoric way depending on how they are viewed.
BEAMS T have designed a compact capsule collection to accompany the show, fea-
turing MAW's artwork on T-shirts, hoodies, blankets and pin badges sitting alongside
a limited edition screen print and toy made in collaboration with Flex Lexx.
