Yep- it's Roqtober, and our favorite month at the gallery. This month we have a great show featuring two returning artists, painter Yumiko Kayukawa and sculptor/carver Ojimbo (who will be supplying us with our monster quotient for Halloween!)
Yumiko Kayukawa's rock n roll, nature loving dream girls have bewitched viewers since her first show in the US at Roq La Rue in 2001. Since then, her career has soared and garnered her sold out shows all over the country. For this show she remains true to her vision, yet has made the full leap to working on canvas after working on board for years. Dynamic, vital and full of pop references, traditional japanese graphics, and cute animals, this show won't disappoint her fans.
Ojimbo returns to the gallery after laying low and carving in his basement in Ohio for a year, getting ready to unleash a whole new group of phenomenal pop culture/monster wooden totem poles and wall pieces. Intricately detailed and carved, then painted and given an aged patina, these pieces feature horror motifs with a generous dose of humor.
