Artsource first encountered Robin Rhode's work in the shipping
containers at Art Basel in Miami about 2 years ago.  It was a wonderful art world moment of who and what is this?
The work was captivating, as is his small show at LACMA up through June 6^th.  If you happen to be in the Los Angeles area it is
well with the visit.

Rhode is a South African artist whose work explores his South African culture, race, and politics through the physical interaction of drawing, photography and performance.

Here is a great video from the Wexner Center for the Arts:

Robin Rhode is represented by Perry Rubenstein Gallery in
New York.
