Shozo Shimamato (1928 - 2013) was a co-founder of the Japanese avant garde art group - Gutai. He is regarded as one of the most daring and independent experimentalists of the international art scene during the 1950's and continued to explore/expand art boundaries until his death. I'm humbled to contribute an artwork to a memorial honoring Shozo and his influence on contemporary art. The Shimamoto Art Lab will exhibit and archive the artworks in honor of Shozo's inspiration.

A special memorial service honoring Shozo will be presented at Novotel Koshien Osaka West - Nishinomiya, Japan on March 13, 2013.
