Makoto Fujimura at Pepperdine

I’ve been following Makoto Fujimura’s art for a couple decades so when a rabbit trail led straight to the gallery where my son-in-law is going to law school, I realized I could visit my newest grandchild and see an artist’s work I revere.

Photos don’t do the original work justice; the multiple layers hide and appear beneath the next layer making what might appear to be a plain orange-red canvas into a complex dancing fire.
