Keita Morimoto’s new limited edition print is a poetic portrait of Tokyo. 

Jewel Box, painted in 2024, depicts a woman standing before a glowing glass cabinet outside a Tokyo restaurant. The soft glow of the urban window is a quintessential motif in Keita’s practice. It represents a portal to another world, nodding to the pre-modernist idea that a painting is a ‘window’ to another space. For the artist, the piece invites the viewer to “step through the image” and dwell in the fleeting moments of harmony between light, architecture and human presence. Inspired by the work of Edward Hopper and William Eggleston, this piece captures the quietly transcendent magic of everyday life.

This edition features silkscreen gold shimmer details that enhance its transportive atmosphere, with speckles of shine contrasting against soft matte textures.

Go behind the scenes

Our master printmaker Tom Murphy discusses the craft and process behind translating the transportive power of Keita Morimoto's work into two shimmering editions.
Abstract painting with warm tones depicting wine bottles and glasses on a table, blending geometric shapes and soft lighting.

Borrowing techniques from Baroque painters, Morimoto’s subjects pose under dramatic spotlights – a twist on Rembrandt's contrasting use of light and shadow. Yet, the soft focus on the central figures give the paintings the atmospheric haze of a video game. Combined with hyperrealist figuration, the result is uncanny – like snapshots from a parallel universe almost identical to our own.
