Tim Okamura : This Story Has Not Yet Been Told… (Exhibition)

Exhibition Information:

This Story Has Not Yet Been Told is comprised of paintings created within the last decade that have emerged from a life-long fascination with the emotionally expressive power of the human form and an intense interest in the juxtaposition of people in their environment. Okamura uses an academic-based, realist approach to painting that incorporates the mark-making and spontaneous language of spray-painted graffiti, collage, and iconograhic ‘signage’ in attempt to weave the nuances of relationships of ethnicity, social identity, and inner-city sub-culture into his subjects’ stories, 

as captured on canvas. 

Artist Tim Okamura will have his first solo exhibition at Robert and Sallie Brown Gallery and Museum at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from September 12 through 

November 29, 2013. The exhibition will be free to the public.

I highly recommend anyone living in Chapel Hill, NC area to check it out.

Exhibition invitation is available here.
