"Untitled (Boot and Goofy)" (1985)
Acrylic on canvas
TSCPL Permanent Collection; 88.21

Shimomura's work is inspired by the two years he spent in an American internment camp as a child. "People tell me, 'I'm bothered by your paintings,' and they don't realize that's a compliment," he says. "I want them to be bothered." -Jan Witowski, "A Tale of Two Cultures", Topeka Capitol Journal, August 19, 1988.

"Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string...Great men have always done so, and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age, betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart, working through their hands, predominating in all their being." -Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Essay on Self Reliance"; New York, NY; Pyramid Books, 1970.

The progression of our world through underground thought (ideas from within) is made visible through art. Our unique interpretations and invention drive us. These roots of creation are the same roots that lead to civilization.
