Pacific Tsunami

When I first saw this painting by Japanese-American artist Gajin Fujita, I thought Nice koi carp, shame about the graffiti; but it's growing on me! This mixture of Yankee graffiti and cliches of Japanese visual art shouldn't work, but somehow it does. Find the exhibition at Haunch of Venison in London later this month. No details, because when I tried to visit the gallery's rubbish website a message popped up to inform me that a script in its program was causing Flash Player 9 to run slowly and might cause my computer to become unresponsive. No thanks. So much for clever-dick programming. It makes the gallery seem amateur.
