Freestyle is an art exhibition by Japanese artist Satoshi Ohno, member of musical group Arashi.
Many of Ohno's works created before he had entered Johnny & Associates, exhibited in Freestyle, included paintings, clay models, photographs, big objects d'art, and more.
Ohno created all these works as part of his hobby, many done in his spare time, in off-days, between performances with his group, or acting break moments.
[5] When the exhibition opened, Ohno said "It's a strange feeling to have so many people see the work that I have been making for 10 years in such... big venue".
A companion book, also named "Freestyle", was released days before, on February 8, and by the time the exhibition opened, it was already on its third printing.
With the name "Freestyle II", it would open in Tokyo, at Omotesando Space O, from July 24 to August 23, and Osaka from March 3 to April 3, 2016, after seven and a half years of the first one, which was visited by around 100,000 people in 6 venues.
"[13] 5 years later, in 2020, amidst the chaos brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, Ohno held the last exhibition before taking a break from public activities.
