GEORGE HAYASHI

Title
「 Rejoice and Be Glad 」(2026, 1550×1250mm, acrylic on canvas)

Work Description
“Permanently exhibited in Shanghai, this work samples Japanese folklore and global bar culture through hip-hop aesthetics. Using the Non-Metallic Metal (NMM) technique, GEORGE creates a liquid-gold glow with ordinary acrylic paints. The beckoning cat “Soba-nyan” reflects bartending icon Shingo Gokan in its eyes, surrounded by hiragana senjafuda, festival lanterns, and blazing red neon. Inspired by GEORGE’s original folktale, a young man imitates a cat reflected in an empty sake barrel, miraculously bringing sake and prosperity to his village. A celebration of kindness, where generosity becomes fortune.
