Parker Ito’s multi-media work often suggests the movement between the real and the virtual, and between photography and painting. Along with operating a prolific studio, Ito also focuses on the way images and artworks circulate online. In 2016, he created a series of works in which he repaints photographs of flowers, a classic subject in the history of painting. Some are based on found images, others on photographs Ito took himself; all combine materials that give it a tactile quality—at once rough and polished—that may, or may not, translate in documentation.
