iROZEALb (Iona Rozeal Brown) is best known for her clever merging of the imagery of Japanese ukiyo-e prints and American hip-hop culture. She first became interested in Japanese visual culture after learning about ganguro, a phenomenon popular during the 1990s in which Japanese girls darkened their skin and dyed their hair blond as a challenge to ideals of beauty. Brown earned a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and an MFA from Yale University in 2002. Both a visual artist and DJ, who has lived in Tokyo and Yokohama, Brown currently lives and works in Washington, DC. Her paintings and prints have been exhibited widely, including a solo exhibition Cleveland's Museum of Contemporary Art in 2010, and as part of Thirty Americans, the national touring exhibiton of the Rubell Family Collection.
