Dear Art Department Community,
We are pleased to announce that this week’s talk in our Spring 2025 Artist Colloquium will be given by Gajin Fujita.

Gajin Fujita, a native of East Los Angeles (b. 1972), received a BFA from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he studied with renowned art critic Dave Hickey. He first gained recognition in the L.A. graffiti scene with crews KGB and K2S. Influenced by his father, a painter, and his mother, a conservator of Japanese antiques, Fujita blends Japanese iconography with urban graffiti and Western pop culture.

Fujita’s works feature gilded surfaces with graffiti tags, traditional East Asian motifs, and contemporary elements. His art is held in numerous public collections, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Getty Research Institute, Hammer Museum, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Toledo Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Art Gallery of New South Wales. He is represented by L.A. Louver in Venice, CA.
