University Daily Kansan Monday, June 16. 1975 3 Staff photo by DON PIERCE Shimomura By KATHLEEN RUSSELL Contrbuting Writer Several years ago, Roger Shimomura, associate professor of painting, observed that people take a lot for granted when they look at works of art and, for that matter, when they look at people and things they see every day. Artist, art not really Japanese So he decided to paint an Oriental masterpiece. That observation and his Oriental masterpiece are taking him places. Shimomura, who for the past three years has been working on a series of Oriental masterpieces, left for Japan on May 25. He was recently awarded a $600 grant to do PROFILE While there, he will document subject matter for continuation of his masterpiece research and travel in that country by the Japan Foundation, established by the Japanese government in 1972 to promote cultural exchange between nations. The masterpieces are a unique combination of Japanese tradition, Pop art, pure design, satire and unmistakably Shimomura himself. The subjects of the masterpieces are taken from a genre of Japanese prints that emerged in the 17th century, called ukiyo-e what most people consider "typical" Japanese art with its fighters, bathhouse girls, popular actors and landscapes. Shinomura grafts a figure from one print to a setting from another with complete disregard for their original size, proportion and color. Heads often loom near the picture plane bigger than life while at the same time smaller, so the figure is squeezed into a caper of the painting. Shimomura is Japanese-American. He looks Japanese but doesn't speak Japanese or have an accent and he isn't familiar with the customs of the Japanese people. Shimomura said that in daily encounters many people raised their eyebrows when they heard him speak and didn't hear an accent. Shinomura, like the children of so many other immigrants, was taught to speak only The average person looks at him, he said, like he does at people from all other races in the world. He is usually in background or lifestyle. A person makes an instant judgment, he said, and labels The frequency with which the judgments and labels occurred, especially since Shimomura came to Kansas in 1969, brought a question to the surface of his mind: What do people take for granted when they look at people and art?

He said most people don't know what they were looking at anyway. So Roger Shimomura summed it up in a painting. Paid for by the student activity fee A lot, he said. *9-month appointment at $135/month Shimomura's paintings aren't historical exercises. He admits he doesn't know much at all about Japanese art. In fact, he said, he tries to keep away from it as much as possible. He alters everything or nothing to fit into the design of the masterpieces. He added common attitudes and conceptions about Japanese art and people's initial reaction to his painting Japanese subjects. He called his painting "Oriental Masterpiece no. 1" as a sarcastic jab at the people who would see his paintings and call his artwork" by a "Japanese artist," he said. Apply at the Student Senate Office 105B Student Union "They look at my paintings," he said, "that's Japanese art, Japanese, Pop Art." He isn't concerned with the importance of the subjects he chooses for his paintings, he and in choosing subjects, he purposely overshadows the artist's name or the title of the work. Shimomura said that while in Japan, he hoped to make arrangements to set up a show somewhere in the country, but at the moment he no idea where or when it might take place. "The subject isn't important; the manipulation is." he said. "I don't want it." "I'm really curious to see what their reaction would be," he said. "I like to contrast warm and cool colors and lights and darks," he said. "I paint the colors I like to see. I choose color by pure intulution." The colors in Shimamura's paintings are bright and flat. He said he was a value painter; that is, one who paints in various degrees of intensity of color. In his latest Oriental masterpiece, Shiminora juxtaposes fighters and geishas in a fluffy color of color and movement. There are 15 figures in the painting, the most he has ever included. Their head forms form an intricate center of the painting, with the biggest head in the center and five much smaller heads in a line across the top of the painting. anything to interfere with the visual concept. I'm interested in pure desism. "I think that absurd," he said with a laugh. "When are you ever going to see 15 people standing anywhere that, by sheer weight, their heads make up a perfect triangle?" Shimomura will be in Japan for three months and will return to KU for the fall He said that in almost all of his other masterpieces, the position of the fixtures or Soon he will have finished 28 Oriental masterpieces, all on 5-foot square canvases. After that, be said, his masterpieces will be triptychs and canvases painted in triptychs, or three panels. KANSAN WANT ADS Accommodations, gourdy services, and amenities are included.
