Rooted in Pop Art, Sam Lasseter’s large-scale Monkeys From a Barrel transform a classic American toy into a shared experience that recalls the memories, sensations, and emotions of childhood.

Stroll along Peachtree St this weekend, discover the monkeys, and take a trip down memory lane! On View until July 20 @ 1301-1315 Peachtree St. About Sam Lasseter Sam Lasseter received a BFA in sculpture from the Savannah College of Art and Design. He has worked as a fabricator at companies in theater, theme park, and movie industries in Atlanta, Portland, and New York. In 2015 he exhibited in a solo gallery show called Joy, where all of the art was meant to make the viewer smile and share a laugh. This set the course for his current body of work. Lasseter’s work pulls inspiration from the Pop Art movement, enlarging classic American toys and candies into hyper-realistic fiberglass sculptures. He currently works and resides in Atlanta, Georgia. Images of monkeys : Julie Yarbrough Photography @jyphoto #publicart #midtownatl #smallmomentsofhappiness #popart #fluxprojects
