Giant Robot 2 Gallery (GR2), 2062 Sawtelle Blvd. in Los Angeles, is proud to host the return of Rob Sato in “442” from April 14 to May 2.
The exhibition showcases the original illustrated comic panels from a graphic novel titled “442,” each hand-painted in watercolor. The title refers to the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the heroic, segregated unit of Japanese American soldiers who fought for the United States in World War II. Despite 120,000 Japanese Americans being placed in concentration camps, thousands volunteered and fought in Europe and served in intelligence services in the Pacific.
Opening reception with the artist will be held on Saturday, April 14, from 6:30 to 10 p.m.
Sato will tell his own family’s story in relation to the artwork. His grandfather was interned in the Jerome and Rohwer camps in Arkansas and served in the 442nd. Also speaking will be Diana Tsuchida ,who has embarked on a collection of interviews with Japanese Americans who lived through the camps under the moniker Tessaku Project.
Gallery hours: Monday and Tuesday, closed; Wednesday and Thursday, 12 to 6 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 12 to 8 p.m.; Sunday, 12 to 7 p.m. For more information, call 424.2GOROBO (424-246-7626) or visit http://gr2.net/.
