Stock Description:

Teroaka is a social critic who shows the foibles of Japanese and American cultures in paintings that are both rich in narrative content and striking in appearance. Combining the imagery of the Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints with pop art, Teroaka casts contemporary issues in historical guise.
