In his paintings, Fujita blends a rich diversity of cultural influences that range from traditional Japanese ukiyo-e to contemporary manga; from American pop culture, to East L.A. street-life iconography and graffiti. Critic Christopher Knight describes Fujita’s paintings as “the most important 21st century iteration of graffiti’s influence on art.” This exhibition catalogue includes a foreword by Peter Goulds, founding director of L.A. Louver, and text by Scott Grieger, artist and professor at Otis College of Art and Design. L.A. Louver, 2011 9.25 x 11.25 inches, 68 pp. color illustrations Hardcover, ISBN 978-0984305117
