Biography

Okinawa based artist DENPA seeks to explore life's patterns through his heavily textured abstract expressions, allowing his hands to freely explore and create what he feels. Whether through his studio pieces, large scale public mural works, or his own gallery endeavor, Stock Room Gallery Koza, he always moves to build community through shared visual experience.
