magma has held numerous solo exhibitions in Japan and has expanded their practice into furniture, product design, prop fabrication, stage art, and spatial direction. They have also collaborated with global brands such as Nike, New Balance, and UNIQLO, as well as multiple musicians. “Mixed Foods” marks their first solo show in Taiwan, presenting both newly created works and representative pieces.

In their approach to color, magma blends three chromatic sources: the vivid finish of painted surfaces, the raw tones of found materials, and the aged hues shaped by time—colors that can no longer be replicated today. Rather than chasing consistency, they allow these differences to coexist, preserving the unique textures and histories of each element.

Their creative origins trace back to assisting other artists in earlier years. Over time, this evolved into a habit of collecting objects they encounter in daily life—often things that are “awkward, half-baked, even a little ugly”—yet rich with unexpected character and emotional resonance.

magma 於日本已多次舉辦個展，並將創作延伸至家具、產品、小道具製作、舞台美術與空間統籌等領域，也與 Nike、New Balance、Undercover, Braindead 等品牌及多位音樂人合作。《Mixed Foods》為他們首次於台灣舉辦個展，展出多件新作與代表作。
​
在色彩的選擇上，magma 會將塗裝後色彩飽滿的成品、素材本身的原色，以及經時間變化而難以再現的色調混合使用，希望各種顏色都能保留原有的質地與差異。他們的創作起點源自早期協助其他藝術家工作的經驗，並持續在生活中蒐集物件，從那些「半吊子又有點醜的東西」中獲得靈感。
