excited to share these new series of paintings, which i created for "artshop," a group exhibition at honolulu museum of art in hawaii, opening this friday on the 19th. the exhibition consists of few curators taking over the museum space in 10 day period and one of them is my friend eric nakamura of giant robot in los angeles. so honored and happy to be one of the artist representing giant robot and city of los angeles:)
my new work centers around the americana signage culture that i love and adore. i see them as a surviver of the simpler time and there's something magical about the decaying old signage that i see around los angles and other cities in the states.
i modified the signage by adding a more personal texts, some are lines from the songs i like and others are whimsical wording or the positive phrases that i enjoy.
i'm quite happy with the series and hope you will like them too.
mahalo:)
