Dennis Sun: An Interview
Love, Light & Laughter Art Exhibition After 2 years of absence in the Tokyo art scene, Dennis Sun comes back in full force doing a 3-month long show of his artistic creations. Going to his latest art exhibition, Love, Light & Laughter, one gets transported into a different world filled with a kaleidoscope of bright vivid colors and jolly jubilant creatures. His works fill the whole place with warm sunshine, charming smiles and tender affections. This time, Dennis Sun collaborates with Tully’s Coffee, a giant coffee company that rivals Starbucks in Japan. Q: Why didn’t you do art shows for the past 2 years? Dennis Sun: I was very busy with my work for the Japanese government in labor and education. It took so much of my time and energy that, after work, all I wanted was relax.

Q: Isn’t making art relaxing?
DS: Well, it is to a certain point. Once I start to paint, it would be unstoppable that sometimes, it becomes too much like work itself. Once I get high with the creative spirits, I sometimes forget to eat. And the worse thing that could happen is I tend to paint even after midnight that lasts till the early morning dawn. I had been like this for a long time and it was not healthy. It was taking a toll on my health.
