Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/17/2010 -- Joint One Radio Show, hosted by former Los Angeles DJ, Joey Slick, celebrates over 2000 shows and 10 years on air as part of the history making lineup on Tokyo Japan's INTERFM76.1 radio station by featuring one of America's most brilliant and highly acclaimed Urban artists, Gajin Fujita on its site, http://www.jointone.com/2009/gajin.html.
Fujita blends Eastern techniques (anime, partitioned screens), and elements (geishas, warriors, demons), with Western, urban imagery (Latino graffiti, U.S. pop culture imagery) in a way that is stunning and vibrant, yet harmonious. His works embody the cultural and class contradictions that are an integral part of urban Los Angeles. In 2005, Fujita exhibited with Pablo Vargas-Lugo at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Gajin Fujita is a graffiti artist from East Los Angeles. He is a member of LA graffiti crews K2S (Kill 2 Succeed) and KGB (Kids Gone Bad). Born in 1972, Fujita holds an MFA from the University of Nevada and a BFA from Otis College of Art and Design. Gajin's work has been exhibited worldwide at galleries and museums such as Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art (Kansas City), L.A. Louver Gallery and international venues in Switzerland, Greece, and Belgium.
