Kimo Minton
While Kimo Minton's sculptures and paintings reference cubism, African ritual sculpture and artistic traditions from Asia, the South Pacific and Indian America, they are clearly the products of a calculated postmodern sensibility.
Like the Modernists' embrace of forms and techniques, Minton's works remind us of the vast gulf that separates Western and non-Western approaches to art and life. This influence offers a spiritual, heroic demeanor filtered through the artist's own Asian and Hawaiian heritage.
