Santa Barbara Sentinel Spotlight on Tal Avitzur




Artist Tal Avitzur of Talbotics creates fanciful sculptures out of found-objects from scrap yards around SoCal and uses science-fiction, mythology, and comic books as a means of inspiration. Trained under the late sculptor George Rickey, late ceramist Beatrice Wood, and Santa Barbara painter Irma Cavat (Google them now), Tal's lighthearted work brings out the kid in all of us and proves that one man's trash is another man's or woman's playful work of art.
