Larger-than-Life by Karen & Tony Barone
Green Lobby installation: The Pacific Design Center is pleased to present Larger-than-Life, a display of sculptures by Karen & Tony Barone. The artists are prominent celebrities throughout the Coachella Valley who have been honoured with a star as local notables on Palm Springs Walk of Stars. Their colorful public artworks, ranging from cats, bunnies, gorillas, jaguars, puppies, poodles and superheroes arouse an Alice in Wonderland visual adventure that not only bring smiles to the public but also support many humanitarian causes. Originally from Chicago and later early SoHo pioneers in New York, the Barones have developed a distinctive visual language marked by wit, bold scale, and immersive presence. In addition to creating monumental sculpture, the artist team creates paintings and video art from their desert studio. Their works have been exhibited and collected by museums, municipalities, corporations, and private collectors worldwide.
