Milt Kobayashi
The fresh, bold and confident brushwork of Milt Kobayashi’s distinctive figures not only sets his paintings apart from other artists in style and technique, but also provides a unique expression of mood and mystery that has attracted collectors from throughout the world. A third generation Japanese-American, Kobayashi was born in New York City, but spent his early childhood on the island of Oahu, Hawaii and completed his B.A. degree studies at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Upon returning to New York City to work as an illustrator in 1977, the young artist began frequenting the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the city’s numerous galleries where the works of Whistler, Chase, Sargent, Velazquez, Degas and Toulouse-Lautrec had a profound influence on his use of color, patterns, negative space and highly sophisticated, yet simplified compositions.
The result has been a body of work that has achieved international acclaim with a Ranger Purchase Award from the National Academy of Design and a Silver Medal from the Allied Arts show in New York. Kobayashi’s work has also been the subject of feature articles in Forbes, Fortune and Readers Digest magazines and, most recently, on the pages of The American Art Collector.
A selection of recent oils from the studio of Kobayashi can be viewed at Morris & Whiteside Galleries at 807 William Hilton Parkway. For a complete list of paintings available, contact the gallery at (843) 843-4433 or visit www.morris-whiteside.com
