About: As the artist has stated, in reference to his Kabuki with Uncle Ben series, "these new works project my wry sense of humor and expose social issues which are layered with political satire, complimented by my use of pop icon imagery." Our work features copious Japanese text with a prominent Egyptian bronze statue of the god Khnum, above the number 34. Also featured is one of Jasper John’s’ “targets.” La Monte Westmoreland has exhibited nationally in museums and galleries such as the Wustum Museum of Fine Art, WI; California African American Art Museum, CA; Museum of Science & Industry, IL.
