Another Art Exhibit Sponsored by Jason J Kim Oral Design New York: Get To Know Kira Nam Greene

Culinary Patterns: Kira Nam Greene is supported in part by Jason J. Kim Oral Design Center and through public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

The exhibit is currently at BBCN Bank, 16 West 32nd Street, New York NY 10001 from October 14, 2015 – April 12, 2016

As described on her website, "Kira Nam Greene’s paintings and drawings negotiate the duality and dichotomy of her existence as an Asian immigrant woman in America. As an outsider, Greene is more aware of the contradictions in the plurality of cultures in the present American society. As a feminist, she is repulsed and demoralized by the objectification of female bodies in art history and popular culture, yet she finds herself strongly attracted to sensuality of these images. This paradox has led her to combine the rigidity of patterns with the imagery of desire in the female body. In her most recent work, she replaces the body with the images of lusciously styled food while heightening the complexity with the mixture of patterns and icons derived from various Western and Eastern sources.  The food, both in harmony and clash with its surroundings, is the body (literally and metaphorically) and the surrogate for desire to consume and control."

A JK Family Event at MOMA

I love taking out my entire JK family of colleagues and friends to enjoy some of the best that this beautiful city has to offer - especially in terms of art. As someone who considers himself an artist within the field of oral design, I am committed to continuously being inspired by the beauty around us and I want my JK family to have that opportunity as well - lucky for me that NYC is a mecca of some of the most influential art in the world.

That's why this past weekend I took everyone to the MOMA exhibit "Scenes for a New Heritage: Contemporary Art from the Collection." The exhibit is a " cross-medium selection of works, created in the past three decades by more than 30 international artists, represents a wide range of approaches to the political, social, and cultural flux that have shaped the current global landscape."

It was a wonderful day filled with friends, family and inspiring art. I recommend any of you in the NYC area go check it out!
