Lari Pittman is a Colombian American artist based in Los Angeles who has been at the forefront of painting in the United States for more than four decades. His painted panels and works on paper are densely layered narratives that articulate the contestation of bodies and the politics of gender, class, and race. Figuration, abstraction, text, and pattern from a range of genres co-exist in fantastical landscapes that respond to political and personal events of the times in which they are produced.
