NOVEMBER 22 ND, 2014 MEET THE ARTIST: TIM OKAMURA AT YEELEN AS A PART OF THE REVEILLON ARTIST SERIES 294 NW 54TH ST, MIAMI, FL 33127 ARTIST TIM OKAMURA WILL HOST AN EVENING AT YEELEN GALLERY IN LITTLE HAITI TO MEET AND GREET MIAMI S ARTS COMMUNITY. A SELECTION OF HIS NEW WORKS WILL BE ON VIEW. Tim Okamura, born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in 1968, is a contemporary painter known for his masterful depictions of African American and minority subjects in urban settings. Utilizing a combination of graffiti and realism Okamura's works investigates identity, the urban environment, metaphor, and cultural iconography through a unique method of painting - one that combines an essentially realist approach to the figure with collage, spray paint and mixed media. The juxtaposition of the rawness and urgency of street art and academic ideals has created a visual language that acknowledges a traditional form of storytelling through portraiture, while infusing the work with resonant contemporary motifs.
