NoA sneak peek: RANDALL YARBROUGH's CAPTIVITY SHOW
The Captivity Show: November 12 - December 1, 2009
408 S. Spring Street, Los Angeles (cnr of 4th St.)
The NoA took a sneak peek at RANDALL YARBROUGH's new work the day before opening...
Described as "taking a playful approach to a serious theme, Yarbrough spins the tale of a man haunted by dark habits, who in search of his own liberty imprisons another creature until he realizes his mistake" the world created by Yarbrough in this downtown LA exhibition is a fantasy world reminiscent of circus days and pure pugilism. The works on sale include sculptural elements, paintings, sketches, works on paper, oils on linen stretched on block form, found objects and lastly, but by no means least, sentiment. Sentiment for an era, and sentimental objects from Yarbrough's own history, including a yearbook photo of the artist's father.
i first met the artist while he was painting a loose canvas on a prominent Venice, CA street corner, the piece being too large for his apartment for him to work on it indoors. His expressions are the product of ambitious artistic vision, and it's sure to be only a matter of minutes before the powers that be take notice.
