Growing up in Hawaii—islands steeped in tradition and folklore—LA-based painter Edwin Ushiro has always been fascinated with the Supernatural. For A Survey : Drawings and Paintings of Strange Things, opening on Saturday (7.8) at Giant Robot 2, he will present paintings inspired by the Japanese folklore featured in the Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things book by Lafacdio Hearn from his personal, Japanese American perspective. The new collection builds on Edwin’s talent of blending the mystical and the everyday within his ethereal works.
