Three Star Books is happy to present Parker Ito’s “MASTERWORKS” (book and prints) at its Paris showroom alongside with the artist's new series of paintings: “CAPITOL RECORDS SHIT TOOTS”.
This 2016 series of paintings are made from photos that Parker Ito took from his apartment window overlooking Hollywood and its famous Capitol Records Tower. Captured on an early digital point-and-shoot camera, circa 2003, and reworked with Ito’s characteristic style, the image ‘resolution’ is low but contains these nearly-painterly quality due to the soft focus, blurred forms, etc. These eight “Capitol Records Shit Toots” are produced with a transfer process whereby Parker Ito captures an image, tiles the image, prints them on letter-sized paper, applies an acrylic medium to the support and then presses the image onto the linen. The paper is then scrubbed away leaving only the image on canvas. Finally the painting is irregularly varnished.
