Ken Hiratsuka's ROCK & PAPER

Original drawings and selected stone sculptures
will debut today at the National Arts Club, 6-8pm, April 16th, 2012.
An important member of the Rivington School scene,
Ken Hiratsuka hailed from Japan, lived and worked in the East Village
for more than thirty years, before moving to Andes, New York.
A stone sculptor whose work is the realization of his philosophical concept,
"One line, it is one line that conects us all together".

and natural environments around the world.
