The Port Washington Public Library's Art Advisory Council presents a virtual exhibit by collage painter Hiromitsu Kuroo. Kuroo’s exploration of origami, the traditional Japanese art of folding paper is examined through a unique manipulation of acrylic, canvas and bleach. Born in Yokohama, Japan, Kuroo’s work evokes the struggles of his cultural identity within his adopted home of New York. Through his work, he attempts to bridge these two very different worlds. Sponsored by the Port Washington Public Library Art Advisory Council. Click HERE to view the exhibit on YouTube.
