Yoskay Yamamoto’s latest solo exhibition “Jokes On Me…” opened this past Saturday at the LaBasse Projects Chinatown location in Los Angeles. Based on iconic childhood characters like Bart Simpson and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, this new body of work consists of a large collection of sculptures in a variety of mediums. Like a Sunday comic strip, Yamamoto’s sculptures are charming and nostalgic until after further inspection have a darker underlying message. This was the artist’s first all-sculpture exhibition – working in a range of mediums from plastic, resin, vinyl and hand-sculpted wood.
