Chris Scarborough "Warbabies"
Foley Gallery
This event has ended.
In this recent rendering of graphite drawings, Chris Scarborough acutely examines his generation's attraction to, and his own personal fascination with the icons of eastern popular culture.
Scarborough first encountered these foreign idols as an adolescent growing up in southern United States, in the Japanese anime, Akira. The artist marks this introduction as significant to his visual lexicon, as the film's bizarre and unfamiliar imagery impressed deeply upon him with its strength of both magnetism and repellence.
