DESCRIPTION:<strong>The Flomenhaft Gallery</strong> is proud to present an
  exhibit of the newest exciting paintings by <strong>Roger Shimomura.</st
 rong> He said of his art\, “Central to my work is the manipulation of c
 ommon objects into something other than what they are.” In fact all of R
 oger’s art is about Roger and reflects his connection to American Pop Ar
 t as he manipulates not only objects but people\, sometimes harshly\, some
 times with humor. He is third generation Japanese American\, known as a Sa
 nsei\, and he was two years old when his family 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 throughout World War II. That exper
 ience has lived forever in his memory and has created in Roger a deep sens
 e of empathy for discrimination against any and all races and religions in
  America. His art is created with a great sense of humanity\, reflecting h
 is association with every bias that might threaten our democracy.
