Drawing inspiration from Dada, folk art, and African sculpture, John Outterbridge recycles discarded materials, transforming them into poetic configurations that explore both social and political themes. In a career spanning fifty years that began with his seminal role in the Los Angeles assemblage movement of the 1960's and 70's, he has succeeded in creating and developing a unique visual language.
