Jerry T. Okimoto

Okimoto is best known for his minimalist works consisting of several solid colored, geometrically shaped pieces of stretched canvas fitted together to form a single work.

Since these works are essentially two-dimensional, they challenge the distinction between painting and sculpture.

Double Image further challenges this distinction, in that it is totally abstract, but strongly suggests a vanishing point.

In some of these works, the individual stretched canvases are moveable and are intended to be rearranged.

Along with Satoru Abe, Bumpei Akaji, Edmund Chung, Tetsuo Ochikubo, James Park, and Tadashi Sato, Okimoto was a member of the Metcalf Chateau, a group of seven Asian-American artists with ties to Honolulu.
