After being immersed with Mori’s paintings, my desire was to have an exhibition in New York City. He does not fit into some of the categories associated with typical Japanese artists, but all true artists have no choice but to follow their artistic path.
After the New York exhibition, the Japan Information and Culture Center held an exhibition for Mori’s paintings in Washington DC. Mori attended the opening reception and gave an onstage demonstration to a receptive audience. The response to his work in NY and Washington was overwhelming and we commend the JICC for the wonderful forum they provide for Americans to view such talented Japanese artists.
