Rimi Yang’s artistic style also bridges the cultural divide with Japanese block print and 19th-century portraiture.

Celebrated in professional art circles, welcomed with a mixture of wonder and fear by ordinary citizens with eyes to see, Bhabha's creations provide an infusion of transgenre brilliance and savagery that Austin, in particular, needs right about now.
