Ewa Beach resident and artist Pancho Abalos will celebrate all things born of Japanese pop culture at his solo J-Pop Art Show happening Aug. 11 at Prototype in Pearlridge Center\u2019s Downtown.<\/p>\n

From 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., attendees can view the Edo period-inspired paintings that Abalos, who recognizes that his latest focus on a contemporary form of popular culture provides a link to the past, considers an extention of his most recent works. The show will run until Sept. 10.<\/p>\n

Abalos recently displayed his Japanese-inspired art June 2 at ING for his Tributes Art event, which showcased new works that paid homage to the popular art of the Edo period.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cMuch of J-Pop or Japanese pop-culture is set in the Edo period or features figures from that time,\u201d stated Abalos. \u201cIt (J-Pop) is a result of Edo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

All forms of pop culture including anime, comics, toys, gaming, movies, fash- ion and music will be celebrated in Abalos\u2019 new works.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith things like Comic- Con growing bigger and bigger every year, the cel- ebration of American pop culture is at an all-time high,\u201d Abalos added. \u201cI\u2019m all about giving credit where it\u2019s due and acknowl- edging the source, and I think that\u2019s Japanese popular culture. Hey, before Power Rangers, there was Kikaida.\u201d<\/p>\n

Besides Abalos\u2019 artwork, DJ Yogurt of Kapolei will be spinning live music while Prie performs. The evening also will feature Art bCause, an art auction that benefits the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and sup- ports its mission of finding cures and better treat- ments for blood cancers. The auc- tion runs from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and will include handmade jewel- ry, fashion pieces and original art- work from local artists including Chanel Tanaka.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Along with the auction items, all original artwork will be available for purchase, along with prints and apparel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In 2003 Abalos turned his passion for art into a profession and has been a live muralist with the Ground Up Movement. He has shown his pieces in the Philippines and Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

His collaborations include pairings with many well- known artists of the urban art genre such as Alfie Numeric and Dave Araquel of Beatrock clothing.<\/p>\n

Other exhibits have included charity shows in New York and as a Scion Hawaii featured artist from 2006 to 2007. His recent Tributes Art event benefited the Hawaii Arts Alliance and five West Oahu public schools.<\/p>\n
