Preview Online for 'Joke's on Me' by Yoskay Yamamoto for LeBasse Projects (March 24-launch)

Serioiusly, I could not stop saving images currently previewed online of Yoskay Yamamoto's work for his solo show 'Joke's on Me' launching March 24th @ LeBasse Projects!

Paying 'homage' to a whole slew of characters from pop culture and the toy-realms, the sculpts are predominantly enjoyable and no doubt brings a smile to ones face - if not for the sheer sweetness of the aesthetic, but for the visual recognition of characters, IMHO.


EVENT: 'Chinatown is proud to announce 'Jokes On Me,' a solo exhibition from Los Angeles based artist Yoskay Yamamoto at LeBasse Projects.

In his new body of work, Yamamoto will feature a series of sculptures based on iconic childhood characters. Three years in the making, 'Jokes On Me' is a conceptual project that explores current social issues through humor. Like a classic Sunday comic strip Yamamoto's sculptures are charming and nostalgic but upon further inspection the individual works contain a darker underlying message and social commentary. This will be the artist's first exhibition focused entirely on sculpture - in a range of mediums from plaster, resin, vinyl, clay and wood.'
