The exhibition is an attempt to create an "invention laboratory" full of playfulness and creativity, centered on the themes of "invention" and "imagination." In addition to new paintings by Jean Jullien, the space features walls covered with sketches, blueprints, and humorous drawings of inventions.
The exhibition is primarily composed of Jean Jullien's new paintings and wall drawings created specifically for this show, allowing visitors to experience the process of imagination taking shape where art and space intersect.
Limited items themed around "invention and humor," such as apparel and stationery, will also be available.
Furthermore, the robot "LP33 - A Slightly Unusual Invention Robot" will appear as a display fixture, adding a playful staging that connects the artwork and the space.
Jean Jullien has a deep affinity for Doraemon and has long been interested in the humor and warmth embedded in Japanese culture and daily life.
In this collaboration, his sensibility overlaps with the worldview of Doraemon, resulting in a familiar yet unique "creative encounter."

【Comment from Jean Jullien】
I've always loved Doraemon. The idea of an earless, blue cat robot from the future with a pink time travelling door sounded as amazing as it was. I've always loved the design of the character and how it summed up everything I loved about Japan and it's pop culture: Anchored in everyday life, with an element of surreal redefining the decor and adding quirk to everything. The simplicity of the line, the originality of the plot and design mixed with the constant cleverness of the millions of ideas for each invention. I've also always loved how these characters keep being played with, reinvented, made serious, changed, transformed etc. over time and episodes but no matter what, their essence remained.
When I moved to Tokyo, I was fortunate enough to meet with Fujiko F Fujio's daughters who keep his legacy alive and for this legacy to be shared with me generously. I felt I could relate to his work in a myriad of ways, and I was very humbled that their trust was put in me to respectfully play with his creation.
I've approached this collaboration in a very simple and, hopefully, earnest way: my drawn avatar meeting Doraemon and his friends and using my brush and ink to come up with new strange inventions. I hope Doraemon's readers and lovers will welcome my take on this iconic work with pleasure and that my black and white character can befriend this blue cat from the future.
