BAPE AND THE OG COLLABORATE ON NEW IN-STORE GALLERY

BAPE and The OG have come together to present Hyperreal: Identity, Myth, and Memory, an exhibition curated by The Online Gallery creative director Ché Morales.

The exhibition spotlights six artists – Brandon Breaux, Brendan Fernandes, Esperanza Rosas, Julian Gaines, Sydnie Jimenez, and Yvette Mayorga – and will be on display starting April 26, 2025 at BAPE  Store Chicago

Grounded in BAPE ‘s ethos the show channels the raw, imaginative energy of Chicago’s creative scene with an immersive look at how artists reimagine selfhood and place. Through bold aesthetics, surreal storytelling, and layered visual language, the participating artists challenge the boundary between reality and imagination, constructing new narratives rooted in lived experience, ancestral memory, and the ever-shifting identity of the city itself.
