- Masami Teraoka, The Cloisters/Birth of Venus, Courtesy Patricia Faure Gallery
Cheeky artist Masami Teraoka is most famous for his ukiyo-e woodblock paintings, which combine Japanese imagery, themes from American culture, and a mischievous sense of humor. His most recent work continues his exploration of global culture clashes — from Viagra to the sex crimes committed by the Catholic Church, and from global warming to fast-food culture, Teraoka's art acts as a barometer for hot-button issues, tackling each of his subjects with unrestrained aesthetic gusto.
Note: The artist will give a lecture and book-signing at the gallery on Sat Apr 19 (2pm), immediately following the breakfast reception (10am-1pm).
