Brasserie Ito (2010)
Acrylic  on canvas – 33×40,2 cm (private collection)

… Walking down the street to the shopping arcade, a piece of France reminding me of my country… I never walked up the stairs that led to M. Ito’s restaurant. Not could I read the  complicated menu… Mr.Ito, I believe it was him, would stand on the street in front of his restaurant, late at night…walking back and forth or just standing there… it seemed he was always waiting for someone.
