Exhibition: One Hundred Anniversry Show at Otis College of Art and Design, 2016, Los Angeles
The Begovich Gallery at California State University Fullerton has held some of the most varied art exhibitions in Southern California. In recent years, the Begovich has exhibited the works of F. Scott Hess, an extensive collection from the Thanatos Archive of Victorian Post Mortem photography, and the animation of Nickelodeon Studios. The current exhibition on display, entitled “Floating Realities: The Art of Dr. Masami Teraoka” is no exception.
The early work drawings in color pencil are my minimal art exploration pieces. c.1986.
The works do lean politically and religious in some instances, which is relevant to contemporary issues. The works featuring the Pussy Riot girls comments on abuses of power and religious oppression whereas the works featuring McDonalds and branding comment on Globalization and erasing culture. It is important to view these works in the University setting, since the arts and education in this country are in danger of losing so much of their funding. Showing artwork of a political nature on a university campus is a big statement, though maybe not intentionally as big of a statement as is perceived.

Dr. Teraoka is exceptionally talented and intensely insightful. These works are a visual breath of fresh air and the space is arranged spectacularly to show the range of Dr. Teraoka’s works spanning the majority of his career. The exhibition is co-curated by Begovich Gallery Director Mike McGee, and Amena El-Mekhgiange. The Begovich Gallery will display Floating Realities: The Art of Dr. Masami Teraoka until March 2nd 2017. The Begovich Gallery is located at 800 N State College Blvd (Arts Drive). Fullerton, CA 92834.
