We are pleased to announce an exhibition This is Fukuoka. by Arthur Braud on June 22(Sat.) & 23(Sun.), as a result of his activity during his stay at Studio Kura.
Arthur Braud is a Vietnamese-American watercolor painter from Portland, Oregon, United States. He completed his Bachelors of Fine Art in Painting at Western Michigan University in 2015. Since then, Braud has participated in over 20 gallery exhibitions including the Grand Rapids Art Prize and has sold to several institutions across the globe. Braud is currently a traveling artist utilizing the next several months to collect imagery, connect with individuals, and research foreign traditions for his next line of work.
Here are some words from the artist himself.
This is Fukuoka is a study of three individuals who share the same city but are from three very different backgrounds. Through repetitive imagery, traditional motifs, and portraiture, Braud aims to unveil each one’s story and their unspoken insecurities.
