Laser showMulticultural artist Jave Yoshimoto’s “Intransigent Stratum” is opening this week at Durango Arts Center. His socially conscious works are inspired by his travels. The painter also makes some super cool laser-cut relief sculptures that look like modern interpretations of ancient Japanese scrolls that we definitely want to see in person. Yoshimoto will discuss the work during the artist talk on opening night. Also opening this night is Mary Ellen Long’s “Collection.”
