About the Item

Lamb in Cast Plastic by Yoram Wolberger, 2004 Additional information: Medium: Cast plastic Dimensions: 23 × 5 1/2 × 14 in (58.4 × 14 × 35.6 cm) Yoram Wolberger uses childhood toys and everyday domestic items to create his large scale sculptures, foregrounding the latent symbolism and cultural paradigms of these objects that so subtly inform Western culture. By enlarging this ephemera to life size, Wolberger emphasizes the distortions of their original manufacture disallowing any real illusion and conceptually forcing the viewer to reconsider their meanings. When enlarged beyond any possibility of dismissal, we see that toy soldiers create lines between Us and Them, plastic cowboys and Indians marginalize and stereotype the Other, even wedding cake bride and groom figurines dictate our expected gender roles. Wolberger (b. 1963, Tel Aviv, Israel) earned his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute's (CA) New Genres Department. He has had solo exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, and has been featured in group exhibitions at the Brooklyn Museum of Art (NY), deCordova Sculpture Park (MA), the Aldrich Contemporary Museum (CT), Orange County Museum of Art (CA), Museum of Contemporary Art (IL) and the Israeli Museum of Modern Art (Israel) among others. His works have been acquired for the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum of Art (NY), Frederick R. Weisman Foundation (CA), the Orange County Museum of Art (CA), Sweeney Art Gallery, University of California Riverside (CA) and the McNay Art Museum (TX). The artist lives and works in San Francisco, CA.

LA Gangstars - Original Mixed Media Framed Artwork.
By Mauro Oliveira
Located in LOS ANGELES, CA
*New Year Inventory Renewal Sale - 90 Days Until April 30th* *This Price Won't Be Repeated Again This Year* "LA Gangstars" is one of the street art style Oliveira is adventuring on. The resin, the glitter and the cars are addition to make the piece even richer and more interesting. The French Bulldogs are now America's favorite dog. After more than 3 decades with the labrador reign, the 'Frenchies' are now the kings and queens of the dog world. This piece is also an homage to Los Angeles, its skyline, the beautiful weather and the busy traffic with fancy cars. These two are 'Billy' and 'Veronica', the gangstar couple who terrorize the greater Los Angeles, controlling the distribution of dog treats in South California. Don't mess with them. Whichever dog you own, this couple with the Los Angeles skyline...
