The film, WICKED & i GALLERY OSAKA Art Collaboration

MARCH 12 - 18, 2025

A collaboration between the film, Wicked: The Two Witches, which will be released on Friday, March 7th, 2025, and Hankyu Umeda Main Store. From March 12th to 18th (Wednesday), i GALLERY OSAKA will curate a special exhibition within the POP UP shop at Kotokoto Stage 11 on the first floor. This exhibition will showcase artwork by 2 artists—HAMADARAKA and Masakatsu Sashie—expressing the world of Wicked through art.

Magic is not merely a supernatural force; if we change our perspective, we can find it in our everyday lives. Wicked portrays the courage to make choices, the strength to stay true to one’s beliefs, and the freedom to live as oneself. Through this exhibition, we hope to explore the essence of magic through art and awaken the "magic" that exists within each viewer.

 

What happens when the two witches, Elphaba and Glinda, are enchanted by the magic of art?​

 

Invisible forces take shape in colors and forms, stirring emotions within you. A single piece of art can create new stories and offer a fresh perspective on the relationship between the two witches. Come and experience the hidden “magic” that lies beyond the familiar tale.

HAMADARAKA

​ハマダラカ

“ElphabaとGlindaは、月と太陽の様に相反する存在であり、時にお互いの光となり、時に影になる。

過去も未来も、世界をも変えられるような魔法の力を持つ、鏡の表と裏の様な2人の存在、2人の時間軸が交差し重なることによって現れる「魔法の力」を、過去と未来4人のElphabaとGlindaを描くことによって表現しています。”

Masakatsu Sashie

​指江 昌克

“実体が有るのか無いのかわからない虚構の様な気球の表面に浮かび上がるネオンは劇中の2人の魔女を表現する模様やアイテムで覆われており、2色に輝く世界が現実の世界を浮遊しながら日常にメッセージを届けます。それは時代の流れに合わせる様にいつの間にか現れて消えていくネオンの看板塔の様な存在で、幻想を作り出し、人の心を躍らせる存在として表現した作品。 “
