Burton’s imagination is on exhibition at Los Angeles County of Museum between May 29 & October 31, 2011. The exhibition takes the viewer to the world of Burton through his drawings, early sketches, maquettes, storyboards, paintings, photographs, costumes and concept artworks. Burton’s inspirational works take the viewer to a space where the definition of adulthood and the distinction of childhood are in blur.
Born in 1958 in Burbank, Tim Burton graduated from California Institute of Arts and worked as an animator in Walt Disney Studios. His interpretation of fairy tales in a gothic yet humorous way has changed the perspective of Hollywood genre filmmaking.
The exhibition that brings together over 700 works of art is a must see. Stepping into this imaginary world, one will feel splashed by Burton’s talent and leave inspired. Yet it will be hard to step away from his cinematic perception that has no boundaries.
