Jite Agbro

American (born 1982)

Jite Agbro is a Nigerian American print artist who grew up in Seattle, Washington. Her art ranges from mixed media work to large-scale installation and murals. Agbro investigates the ways that old and oppressive systems endure and continue. Her work often focuses on status symbols like clothing, accent, manners, even citizenship and lineage, and how they are used to define our identities, social hierarchies, and how we approach the world. Her colorful, figurative art combines layered patterns, sharp contrasts, and fabric-like textures.
