For the Artist Spotlight sector of Untitled Art Miami Beach 2025, curated by Petra Cortright, Alma Pearl is pleased to present Venal Extracts, a solo project by the American artist Lyndon Barrois Jr.
Mixing elements of film production—such as stills, posters, and at times sets, and props–Barrois Jr.’s current work draws from the heist film genre and the museum context to engage with legacies of colonial extraction. The presentation will feature new and recent paintings, wall-based assemblages and installation, alongside a sculptural piece.
Barrois Jr.’s practice investigates methods of deception, moments of conviction—whether in magic, cinema, or theatre—and the shifting systems of value that underpin them. He approaches art-making, conservation, and forgery as intertwined acts of illusion, adapting cinematic structures to create what he terms static filmmaking: installations that suggest a cinematic narrative without the use of moving images. Through this approach, cinema becomes a vehicle for temporal and geographic travel, opening up considerations of anachronism, simultaneity, and reanimation.
