Ben Sakoguchi

Ben Sakoguchi: Only in America, is the first monograph of California-based artist Ben Sakoguchi. Throughout his 60-year career, Sakoguchi has chronicled the contradictions and complexities of American life through meticulously painted vignettes that merge history, advertising, and satire. His visual language—playful, layered, and deeply critical—confronts histories of Japanese American incarceration while interrogating systems of power, consumerism, and representation that remain urgent today.
