_______________________
A twice in a lifetime exhibition, BARBARIC YAWP: PART DEUX is yet another journey through the creative spectrum of Boris Bernard. The last time we paid a visit was a decade ago in the summer of 2014 in the famed crumbling Camelot that is Chelsea, Manhattan. BARBARIC YAWP, in its first iteration, was an early snapshot of what would develop into a multifaceted practice and way of life. Spearheading his own Pop S**t! movement, Bernard has only fine tuned his vision into a brilliant counterculture that deconstructs every layer of ideology and iconography that barely holds together our broken society.
Featuring a carefully selected collection of works that reflect on the last ten years of Bernard's career, BARBARIC YAWP: PART DEUX is less of a retrospective and more of a celebration of a hand wrought legacy that is currently standing the test of time. It isn't often that we witness such an undying desire to redefine paradigms and shift the narrative. Bernard is the student of life who wants to burn the school to the ground. This grand gesture, this meaningful mission that involves ripping it all apart and putting it back together again, innately echoes our need to own our now and to once again release our own BARBARIC YAWP.
