Vignettes

Vika Gallery presents David Ibata’s *Vignettes*, a visual examination of the people, places, images, sounds, and experiences that shaped the artist. Drawing on Ibata’s upbringing in Maryland and Washington, D.C., the exhibition reflects on a period of social and cultural change, including the influence of film and media, music across generations, evolving city life, and the persistent realities of violence.

The exhibition brings together oil paintings that explore memory, cultural identity, trauma, danger, spectacle, and the search for models of inspiration.
