About

FREE ONLINE EVENT

Join LA-based artist Greg Ito for a conversation with Art + Practice’s Public Programs and Exhibitions Manager Joshua Oduga on June 1, 2021. Through an exploration of Ito’s archival and recent work, Ito and Oduga will discuss ideas of family, community, history and identity. The conversation will build on weeks of discussions between Ito and Oduga as a way to explore the artist’s practice. This program is organized as part of A+P’s Spring 2021 Program Series.

Ito embraces a graphic visual style to create cinematic paintings and installations that address themes of time, love, loss, hope, and tragedy. A gifted storyteller, the artist incorporates personal and family narratives into his dense compositions. Ito’s work imagines dream-like worlds inspired by his hometown of LA with  portals to alternate timelines where daily life dilates into fantasy.
