Curated by Miguel López, the retrospective exhibition "To hit a raw nerveʺ is a mix of pop, minimalist, contemporary and ironic art expressed through more than eighty works including paintings, prints, photographs, collages, comics, performance documentation, as well as graphic art for magazines and audio cassettes. The works of Higa, express a peculiar vision characterized by the transgression, the alteration of others images, and the intrusion of his own, reinvented paradigmatic pictures and using part of his hobbies: comic books, terror movies and Japanese manga comics.
