“Rabble Rouser” by Todd Bienvenu
Harper’s Los Angeles
As artist Todd Bienvenu nears fatherhood, he reflects upon his life thus far in this autobiographical exhibition. The textured acrylic canvases depict his many interests and inspirations, including surfing, skating, punk music, and his role as a husband. Bienvenu’s trademark style of densely layered paint and broad brush strokes brings his work to life as he toggles between memories of childhood and confrontations with adulthood and imminent parenthood. "Rabble Rouser" will be on view from July 20 to August 25, 2023 at Harper’s in Los Angeles.
