Following the presentation of Parker Ito’s monumental 11-foot tall painting “P” at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel (2019), the artist and Three Star, Paris have converted his recent masterwork into a silkscreen and hand-painted watercolor print made with 26 different inks on 640 grammes Arches paper; the resulting work faithfully transposes “P” into a new dimension with measured craftsmanship, elegantly highlighted in a powder-coated painted metal artist frame designed by Parker Ito.

Parker’s iteration of Albrecht Dürer’s largest engraving “St. Eustace” is at once deeply rooted in Durer's formal premise while pulsating through Ito’s lexicon of contemporary experience.
