Kamea Hadar’s work has evolved from his tutored oil-on-canvas photo-realism to more surreal portraits that experiment with negative space, strip down their subjects to their purest forms, and aim to communicate more with less. Kamea Hadar grew up in the worlds of his Japanese/Korean mother and Israeli father which has no doubt influenced his aesthetic and practice. He currently resides in Honolulu and is the youngest board member of the Hawaii Arts Alliance and is one of the lead directors of Pow Wow Hawaii. His latest exhibit Face Value will feature new canvas works exploring the human form and its relation to themes of sex, culture, and the human condition.

If you can’t be in San Jose on August 16, head to Hadar’s website to have a look at his work.
