"LIVING THE DREAM" came to a close last week at our Harajuku flagship. A solo exhibition by Alehsy Lambo that brought the community together. Thank you to everyone who showed up."LIVING THE DREAM" describes a state where things unfold at such a dizzying pace that one constantly finds oneself asking: Have I truly arrived, or am I still merely dreaming? It marks the boundary between exhilaration and anxiety—the threshold between the reality I envisioned and the reality currently unfolding. Dreams and nightmares coexist within the very same space. When I am awake, anything seems possible; yet, I must never forget to sleep—to keep on dreaming. This life is precisely what I once dreamed of. The only uncertainty is when that dream will come to an end. In this exhibition, I have encapsulated all those dreams.ABOUT THE ARTIST
Alehsy Lambo is a multimedia artist born in southern Spain. Since relocating to Barcelona in 2015, he has steadily expanded his international presence and established a distinctive visual language. Since 2025, he has been based in Japan, where he continues to focus primarily on artistic production and exhibitions. From his childhood, Lambo has been deeply influenced by street culture, car tuning, and street racing. These scenes and characters serve as pivotal subjects within his oeuvre, transformed and expressed as visual narratives. His creative practice is characterized by ambiguous perceptions, a dreamlike sensibility akin to a road movie, and a fresh perspective he has consistently maintained since his youth. He constructs unique tableaux in which light and motion intertwine, thereby creating a world where reality and fiction seamlessly interlace. His work focuses on details often overlooked in daily life—as well as the beauty latent within things that are decaying and through the interplay of color, form, and soft, fluid contours, sublimates these elements into a unique visual language. Through solo exhibitions scheduled for 2025 and 2026 in Osaka and Tokyo, Rambo continues to expand the scope of his creative endeavors.Alehsy Lambo solo exhibition“Living The Dream”Dates: May 20th – May 24thHours: 11:00 – 20:00Venue: OBEY HARAJUKU & WAG GALLERYAddress: JUNK YARD 2F & 3F, 4-26-28 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo
