WATCHING CARTOONS by lomakin | booth f12
Recognised as a Top 5 Booth at the San Francisco Art Fair.
San Francisco Art Fair
Fort Mason Center, San Francisco
April 16–19, 2026 | Booth F12
Lomakin's work moves between painting and sculptural wall works, exploring what happens when simplified forms are pulled into physical space, where a familiar shape becomes something you want to touch, and familiarity begins to shift.
At the San Francisco Art Fair, we presented a solo booth bringing together sculptural works from Watching Cartoons alongside a large-scale painting, marking the first public presentation of his paintings.
In Watching Cartoons, the flattened language of early animation is translated into three dimensions. Graphic lines, bold colour, and familiar silhouettes take on physical form, where surface becomes structure and illusion becomes object. Figures are distilled to their most minimal emotional frameworks - immediately legible, yet open to something more ambiguous.
New works in wood, mycelium, and concrete extend the series into a more materially focused register. As colour recedes, grain, porosity, and weight come forward. The same figure, rendered across materials, becomes warmer, more fragile, or more monumental, suggesting that emotional presence resides not only in image, but in the physical character of the work itself.
