For example, the Beijing solo features the artist's "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World" series, whose title was borrowed from Murakami's 1985 eponymous novel. Also on show are paintings filled with the scenery and imagery that the artist extracted from Murakami's 1Q84, a three-volume novel published between 2009 and 2010, and tinted with his own understanding and memory.
