Openings: Shawn Barber & Turf One – “Life Size” @ Yves Laroche Gallery

Shawn Barber’s joint show (previewed) with Turf One entitled “Life-Size” opened last night at the Yves Laroche Gallery.  A good size crowd showed up to take in the raw and honest portraits of tattoo culture that Barber is known for as well as street artist Turf One (aka Jean Labourdette) and his unique sculptural and caricature-like approach to painting.  Take a look at all the pics after the jump…
