DESCRIPTION:<strong>he Flomenhaft Gallery</strong>&nbsp\;is proud to presen
 t an exhibit of the newest exciting paintings by&nbsp\;<strong>Roger Shimo
 mura.</strong>&nbsp\;He said of his art\, &ldquo\;Central to my work is th
 e manipulation of common objects into something other than what they are.&
 rdquo\; In fact all of Roger&rsquo\;s art is about Roger and reflects his 
 connection to American Pop Art as he manipulates not only objects but peop
 le\, sometimes harshly\, sometimes with humor. He is third generation Japa
 nese American\, known as a Sansei\, and he was two years old when his fami
 ly was taken along with 120\,000 other Japanese Americans from their homes
 \, their businesses\, leaving all their belongings\, and put into Minidoka
 \, one of the many internment camps where they remained behind bars throug
 hout World War II. That experience has lived forever in his memory and has
  created in Roger a deep sense of empathy for discrimination against any a
 nd all races and religions in America. His art is created with a great sen
 se of humanity\, reflecting his association with every bias that might thr
 eaten our democracy.
