Celebrating the arrival of the World Cup in Los Angeles, Fútbol Is Life presents works by award‑winning animator and visual‑effects artist Lyndon J. Barrois, Sr. Crafted from gum wrappers, glue, paint, and other materials, his miniature “sportraits” capture iconic moments in women’s and men’s soccer. Barrois brings a playful yet emotional energy to his meticulously hand‑made sculptures and stop-motion animations, which showcase the game’s grace and power. Fútbol Is Life highlights the artist’s inventive approach to storytelling and animation through his unique vision of the world’s most beloved sport.
