PUPIKO’s China debut exhibition is set to land at COSMO Chengdu. This original IP—created by an overseas illustrator with Zhao Lusi as the muse—will make its first offline public appearance in exhibition form.
The PUPIKO series’ signature visual language—the red apple hood and twin braids—has already cultivated a dedicated following on social media. Starting August 7, this “Apple Girl” will step from two-dimensional illustrations into physical space, creating a PUPIKO summer wonderland at COSMO Chengdu.
As a representative of “curatorial retail” in China, COSMO Chengdu operates on an “anti-standard” logic, blending exhibitions, pop‑ups, social interaction, and retail within a single space. The choice of COSMO Chengdu as the venue for PUPIKO’s China debut signals a broader shift: IP exhibitions are moving from traditional art galleries into trend‑driven commercial spaces that resonate more directly with younger audiences.
The exhibition officially opens on August 7 at COSMO Chengdu. Beyond the PUPIKO‑themed exhibition itself, additional content will be available on‑site. From Zhao Lusi’s fan community to art‑toy collectors, this exhibition is poised to become one of Chengdu’s must‑visit summer attractions. Specific details regarding exhibition zones, interactive formats, and on‑site merchandise are subject to final on‑site announcements.
