SUMMARY:"Go Home"\, works by Paul Akira Miyamoto
DESCRIPTION:Reach\, oil on canvas\, 30 x 24”\, 2021 \nThe Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery presents “Go Home“\, a solo exhibition of work by Paul Akira Miyamoto. \nThe exhibition is installed in the gallery from May 5 – June 5\, 2021\, and available for the public to view. \nIn place of an on-site gallery reception\, LGAP hosted a Live Online Talk with Paul Akira Miyamoto on May 4\, 2021.​  View an edited recording of the talk HERE. \nMiyamoto’s grandparents came to the United States from Kumamoto\, Japan\, and worked as itinerant farmers throughout the central coast of California and the desert of the Imperial Valley. During WWII they\, along with Paul’s parents and oldest sibling\, were sent to Poston Camp in Arizona. The internment of naturalized citizens as well as Americans of Japanese descent\, from 1941 to 1946\, informs much of Paul’s work of late.  The figures in his paintings recall the Issei\, a term used for first generation Japanese Americans who emigrated from Japan\, but were not eligible for U.S. citizenship. The distilled forms of field workers\, often placed in landscapes drawn from his own memory\, portray the strength and endurance of past family members\, but could easily represent present-day immigrant farmworkers. \nHe says: “My paintings reflect a relationship to the geography of my past and the silent rage and emotional shame that earlier generations were never able to express. The mountains illustrate the barriers to independence\, the furrows signify the possibility of regeneration\, and the clear\, expansive skies invite hope for the future.” \nPromise\, oil on canvas\, 30 x 24”\, 2021 \nPaul Akira Miyamoto earned both his Master of Fine Art and Bachelor of Fine Art degrees at Otis College of Art & Design. In addition to his studio art practice\, he was a Clinical Professor of Visual Communication at RPI for more than 20 years and still maintains a graphic design practice.
