Vinyl on Vinyl | Solo Exhibit with Roger Mond

It’s rare to see that an artist can be a muralist or street artist, and at the same time has the ability to create masterful pieces from the depth of his imagination. The artist known as HYPERBOLIC, aka Roger Mond, can do both in his style of storytelling through visual art. It’s certainly a masterclass in combining both media into a singular visual mindscape that is so out there. Roger Mond’s latest solo exhibit not only creates his vision of a “different world” divided into three art styles that he put together into two galleries. The title is a mouthful of curiosity: “LOOKING THROUGH THE ANNALS OF FUTURE AND MY FETISH TO SURVIVE THIS IMPENDING DOOM.”

The title alone won’t fit into the header of this article, so bear with the ‘generic’ introduction of what the show is about. But seriously, Roger Mond, aka HYPERBOLIC, gives you not just an exhibit, but a story in galleries housing his work, which was enough to channel “Isekai” in these masterpieces.

In the world on the second level, there are portraits of characters depicted in their mundane lives, facing inner challenges with expressions of ordinary humans. His art style is inspired by his adoration of Japanese culture, as mentioned, channeling “Isekai,” a Japanese word for “Different World” or “another world, " a subgenre inspired by fantasy and science fiction.

The portraits of these characters are introduced, exploding from a made-up Japanese manga; where these characters live is defined individually through each image-defining concept.

In the lower gallery, you can see the head sculptures of the characters depicted in their bust-like appearance. The faces of all ten characters show no emotion, but a straight-up depiction of what they are named after from some of Roger Mond’s favorurite anime and movie characters. It’s worth noting that the walls he painted enhance the character of this part of the gallery.

It gives you a blindsiding reaction to the thought process of how these concepts were created and put together into a cohesive narrative defining thought. It’s one of the best solo shows this year that challenges your curiosity and how storytelling is done across three types of media.

This is probably a first for Vinyl on Vinyl, which is housing two galleries for one artist, and Roger Mond is him. It deserves a second look, and find inspiration to the world he has created, a deep dive to the visual narrative of another world.



“LOOKING THROUGH THE ANNALS OF FUTURE AND MY FETISH TO SURVIVE THIS IMPENDING DOOM" is the latest Solo Show featuring Roger Mond, aka HYPERBOLIC, that opened on 7 November 2026, and will be taking up the upper and lower galleries at Vinyl on Vinyl’s galleries for the month.
