The Agony and the Ecstasy (23)
A luminous, reflective surface shimmers beneath layers of enamel paint, merging the industrial materiality of Scotchlite and vinyl with the language of fine art painting. Parker Ito exploits the retroreflective properties of the support, causing the work to dramatically shift in appearance depending on the viewer's position and the surrounding light conditions. The title's invocation of pleasure and pain feels embodied in this tension between the seductive glow of the surface and its slick, commercial underpinnings.
