Ezawa is a San Francisco-based artist who often reworks images from popular culture, film and art history, stripping them down to their core elements. His simplified versions remain easily recognizable and potent, a process that illuminates the hold certain images have on their viewers. Working in a range of mediums, such as digital animation, slide projections, light boxes, paper cutouts, collage, print, and wood sculptures, Ezawa maintains a keen awareness of how images shape our experience and memory of events. His work has been shown in solo exhibitions at Hayward Gallery Project Space, London; Artpace San Antonio, San Antonio; and Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, CT. He participated in group exhibitions at Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh; and Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
