DESCRIPTION:<strong>The Flomenhaft Gallery</strong>&nbsp\;is proud to prese
 nt an exhibit of the newest exciting paintings by&nbsp\;<strong>Roger Shim
 omura.</strong>&nbsp\;He said of his art\, &ldquo\;Central to my work is t
 he manipulation of common objects into something other than what they are.
 &rdquo\; In fact all of Roger&rsquo\;s art is about Roger and reflects his
  connection to American Pop Art as he manipulates not only objects but peo
 ple\, sometimes harshly\, sometimes with humor. He is third generation Jap
 anese American\, known as a Sansei\, and he was two years old when his fam
 ily was taken along with 120\,000 other Japanese Americans from their home
 s\, their businesses\, leaving all their belongings\, and put into Minidok
 a\, one of the many internment camps where they remained behind bars throu
 ghout World War II. That experience has lived forever in his memory and ha
 s created in Roger a deep sense of empathy for discrimination against any 
 and all races and religions in America. His art is created with a great se
 nse of humanity\, reflecting his association with every bias that might th
 reaten our democracy.
