DESCRIPTION:<strong>Equal Time</strong>\nOver the years\, my paintings have
  explored my Japanese Canadian identity. While earlier works reflected fee
 lings of ambivalence and discomfort with my ethnicity\, passing time has s
 lowly shaped my feelings into those of acceptance and a certain amount of 
 pride. This gradual transformation is reflected in my art.\nWhile the esse
 nce of the theme has remained constant\, the manner in which it has been d
 ealt with has varied as I continually look for new ways to say the same th
 ing. The works in Equal Time\, produced between 2018 and 2020\, continue t
 he exploration of the Japanese Canadian theme but a new component\, the eq
 uilateral triangle\, has been integrated into some of the paintings. The t
 riangle was a calculated choice not only because of its appealing proporti
 ons and its potential to provide stability to a collection of diverse imag
 es but also because it seemed an appropriate symbol to represent tolerance
  and equality which was tragically absent in the history of the Japanese C
 anadians. Sadly\, racial intolerance still continues.\nAnother recent deve
 lopment is a brighter palette and a tighter integration of all the compone
 nts\, further illustrating my acknowledgement and acceptance of my dual he
 ritage and of having learned to embrace the beauty and the blending of two
  cultures. Underlying all of this is my recognition of the challenges my p
 arents&rsquo\; generation faced in their quest for equality\, for equal ti
 me.\n\n<span style="font-family: "><strong>Artist Norman Takeuchi</strong>
