For his latest solo show, now on view at Lyons Wier in New York, artist Tim Okamura delves deep into the subjects of his immediate urban landscape. The title, a subtle nod to female empowerment, ‘Bronx Brooklyn Queens‘ projects the powerful women of the NYC landscape, transcending stereotype and re-envisioning his subjects as the royalty that they are. Part feminist, part black power, and ultimately, all empowering, ‘Bronx Brooklyn Queens‘ pits royal portraiture against urban documentation in a life size showing of delicately rendered oils. Get a look at several of the new works here on Hi-Fructose.
