A friend of mine has an art show coming up. Here's the thingy:
You can check out his website here.Takashi Iwasaki's solo exhibition, Positive Atmosphere is going to beheld at Gallery of Student Art (GoSA) at University of Manitoba.
Please visit GoSA to see seven new paintings of Iwasaki's.
Iwasaki's creation of positive images is a counter-responce to the use ofnegative themes and images in newspaper, broadcasting, works of art, andthe world around us. The result of negative thinking will be the increase inthe number of depressed and unmotivated people. He believes that positivemental attitude is the key to make people's lives delightful and enjoyable.In this sense, his positive work acts as a means to convey his message ofoptimism and playfulness to the viewers.

And no, these aren't the original colours. I had to change them so that it would show up properly.
Originally the top text was yellow and the addy was white on a bright purple background.
Quite lovely really.

That is a sweeeet website -I need to go and see some of his art!
sucks that it isn't open on wknds.
Man, he sounds like the total opposite of soviet army. Although I guess the erotic gay postcard art was kind of uplifting.

Takashi rocks! I recommend seeing his work. How do you know him Flu? He used to come down to my studio back in my UofM days.
Strangely enough Brig Rid... my art has changed. I'm wallpapering soviet symbols and filming pouring paint.
I know him from a couple of years back. He was friends with my friend Liz. She was an exchange student from Oz.
No she wasn't a munchkin. She was a flying monkey.
Don't really keep in touch with him tho. Every now and then, but thats about it.
