LA TIMES : FALLEN FRUIT REVIEWED BY CHRISTOPHER KNIGHT
“Austin Young transforms color into a force that moves through life, the body, and perception itself.”
— ARTFRAME“The eccentric, vibrant, and original Austin Young.”
— Artribune“Austin Young reconstructs tropes of Pop Art and pop culture into alarmingly brilliant new icons.”
— Shana Nys Dambrot“An emerging cohort is challenging what it means to play with the most essential material.”
— The New York Times (on Fallen Fruit)“Intrepid.”
— Cinqué Hicks, Artforum (on Fallen Fruit)“His work captures beauty at its most vital, carnal, visceral, alive. His exuberant intensity is matched by his innate sense of balance. His work will be seen as an important historical reference for our times, and his name will be legend.”
— Margaret Cho“A fresh approach to produce.”
— Christopher Knight, Los Angeles Times (on Fallen Fruit)“The Los Angeles–based artist collective Fallen Fruit has gained the attention of the art world and local community alike with a fusion of populism, relational aesthetics, and adolescent antics.”
— Annie Buckley, Art in America (on Fallen Fruit)“I’m pretty unabashed in my enthusiasm for Austin Young’s work. I think he’s the most original photographer to emerge in America since David LaChapelle.”
— Richard Metzger
