Shinjiro Okamoto
Born in Tokyo in 1933, Shinjiro Okamoto is a self-taught painter who started exhibiting his work at the Independant Exhibition in the mid 1950s. His works depict elements of Japanese "shitamachi" pop culture, religion, history and art using flat lines and vivid primary colors to produce humorous, rhetorical works that interrogate and criticize contemporary society.
On display at this exhibition are some 40 previously unexhibited works, with a focus on new cherry blossom-themed works on the subject of war.
Talks and lectures also scheduled. See website for more details.
