Lazarides is proud to present an exclusive exhibition programme spread over four months in Los Angeles. Opening April 23rd, Lazarides will host four unique exhibitions in a 8,000 square foot venue at 320 North Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.
“Porn in the USA” features Jonathan Yeo's newest and most provocative works to date, including some surprising new portraits, and a version of his controversial wallpaper design unveiled recently at the new Soho House club in West Hollywood.
Immortalizing the individual in monumental proportions is what these exciting artists do best. Using the overlooked, misunderstood and mundane elements of our everyday, each artist captures our attention with their distinctive style and alternative approach. Sharing a vested interest in their individual and collective surroundings and society, they poetically express a desire for universal appreciation.
After three sell-out exhibitions - Banksy's Barely Legal (2006), Antony Micallef's Impure Idols (2007) and Outsiders (2008) - Lazarides has returned stateside with an impressive line-up of solo and group shows. We opened with David Choe from 23rd April to 23rd May. The 9th to 27th June saw the venue taken over by a four man show of Europe's finest - JR, Vhils, Conor Harrington and Antony Micallef. We now hand over to an installation of Jonathan Yeo's infamous pornographic portraits from 8th July to 8th August. And finally, before saying farewell to the City of Angels, Lazarides presents their first ever solo exhibition with British artist Jay Jay Burridge, opening 12th August.
