L.A. Louver recently hosted the opening of Gajin Fujita newest solo Made in L.A, his first in Los Angeles in over five years. The American-born child of Japanese immigrants was raised in East LA, with the resulting upbringing leading to a fusion of traditional Eastern techniques and iconography with elements of Western and urban life in his art. The resulting work, which also includes collaborative elements with his graffiti crew K2S (Kill to Succeed), features visually arresting disparate imagery like opposing samurai charging each other on horseback decked out in Dodgers and Yankee gear or Bugs Bunny challenging a Japanese warrior with graffiti in the background.
