Additional Details

King Kata #3, Peel Out is a print based on All Falls Down, a series of paintings commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Cleveland. iROZEALb (Iona Rozeal Brown) created these paintings based on Japanese Ukiyo-e prints from the Allen Memorial Art Museum at Oberlin College and her experiences in a residency with Cleveland area high school students. She created a narrative that explored how young women get thrown "off course" by the cultural chaos of contemporary society. The narrative that she wove formed an elaborate story filled with fantastical lands, dynamic characters, and engaging plots.
