True to the artist’s creative history, Roy Venters, the unofficial “Mayor of Chinatown” has assembled his bench with a variety of media. He is well known for his playful assemblages and his striking glass hearts are loved by many.

Roy created a sensibility shattering one man show at the Contemporary Museum when it was still part of the Honolulu Academy. Assemblage was not part of the 70’s mind set, but Roy made sure that the public was exposed to a completely new kind of art, one that used found objects.

Roy has a unique perspective while creating his artwork, and continues to surprise viewers with completely new takes on familiar objects.
