YoYo Lander
Yoyo Lander is a painter who lives in Los Angeles, she went to Howard University where she acquired a Bachelors’s degree and a Master of Fine Arts. She didn’t start selling her paintings seriously until 2014 when her friend paid her money to draw a portrait of him. Lander prefers to work with watercolor paints and always tries to give each of her paintings a story. She prefers to only paint when she is in the right mindset, and cannot paint unless so. Another interesting thing about Lander is she thinks of her painting process as spiritual.
I plan to mainly construct all of my art blogs on people of color, and minorities! I came across Yoyo Lander while scrolling through Instagram. Her work is constructed of beautiful black women and men painted in bright colors and recently more muted colors, being vulnerable yet strong. Her work has a similar feel to the last artist, Jordan Casteel, I wrote my art blog on but she focuses more on black men rather than black women. I love Lander’s work because not only is it beautiful but it speaks volumes of truth. Lander likes to create paintings that reflect what black men and women are facing to this day. Her recent collection, “Time Off”, is about how slavery still affects black Americans to this day, as many Americans turn a blind eye to the horrible things that affect black Americans every day. Lander says on her website, yoyolander.com, “Vulnerability is the essence of fear, shame and our struggle for worthiness. Yet it is also the birthplace of creativity, joy, love, and belonging. To be vulnerable means to open yourself up completely, to stand in your nakedness and to learn into every imperfection. It is not easy, but necessary to elevate, grow, love, and evolve”. Black Americans are not often able to vulnerable as many just waits for a black man or woman to ‘mess’ up’. I enjoy her work because it’s meaningful to me because of it’s colors and message to the people. Here we have a few of her pieces from the “Time Off” series, first, we have ‘Deep Water and Drowning Are Not the Same Thin’. I love how the colors compliment each other and how soothed I feel while I view it.
“Velvet and Steal”.
“When the Walls Fall”.
Here we have some of her original work, first, we have her piece the “Black American Girl”.
“Burkina, Burkina”.
“Legacy”.
Lander loves to travel and learn new tips and tricks through the places she visits. Her travels influenced her paintings, they inspired her to use bright happy colors because bright colors mimic happiness. She likes to mix realism and cubism, making paintings look odd up close but far away make a face. She likes to bring light back into Black American art, instead of it being focused on slavery and other negative situations.
Lastly, Yoyo Lander is coming out with a new art exhibit that will be coming out in July of this year, the collection is called, “Bruised Bananas Are Sweeter”. Here’s a sneak peek of the unnamed art pieces that are in the upcoming collection.

YoYo Lander on her deeply personal, yet joyous upcoming series Bruised Bananas Are Sweeter, which will be on view in the gallery annex beginning Saturday, 21 March 2020 at Band of Vices… . There is pain in insight and peace in knowing. From birth until age 7 my father was the strongest, funniest, most energetic person I knew. Everyone liked him. He had many friends. He could fix anything. Him and my mother have been together since 8th grade. I felt favored. . On March 13th, 1993 my dad was involved in a head on collision that left him with severe traumatic brain injury. He would be bound to a wheelchair. He would need round the clock supervision for the rest of his life. He wouldn't be able to move me into my college dorm room, walk my sister down the aisle at her wedding, ride the lawn mower, cook a meal, use a cell phone and other things we often take for granted. . The worst part, most of his memory was lost and there was nothing we could do about it except love him. I wished he would walk again, and snap out of it. I wanted my dad back. But it never happened. I was so angry at God for allowing this to happen to him. I wondered. What is his purpose? Why is he still here? . As I accepted my new father. I realized that as his core he never changed. Although his job, car, money, and physical and mental capabilities were all stripped away, who he was at his very core was still the same beautiful person he was before the accident only in a different form. Still kind, still funny, still playful, still happy, still popular even in his circumstance. . When everything was stripped away, who are we? The Bloodlines pieces represent that question. The nakedness in the art represents my father being stripped of his physical and mental capabilities. The handstands are a representation of his personality. .

YoYo Lander is coming to Band of Vices… . In the gallery annex, Band of Vices introduces the contemporary figurative painter & collage artist, YoYo Lander. Turning its attention to two cross sections of works, the TIME OFF and the BRUISED BANANAS ARE SWEETER series, Lander’s interests lay in painting the black female body as simply existing, she seeks to strip away the created masks of titles, fashion, hair, etc. . Her work is created using personal photographs in order to capture definitive images and she uses stories from indigenous women as motivation. Her search for truth and understanding includes themes such as joy, identity, sisterhood, vulnerability and community. . An autodidact painter living and working in Los Angeles, YoYo visions emanate from all that surrounds her while abroad. Her work explores unconventional color palettes, bold color contrasts, and womanhood. Her subjects are comprised of an arrangement of brown color harmonies, placed on backgrounds of both subtle and loud color blocks. . The figurative artwork enjoys a conversation between itself and it’s audience. . For press and/or other inquiries please email us at [email protected]. . Save the Date for this compelling new show… Saturday, 21 March, 5-8pm. #YoYoLander @YoYoLander #TimeOff #BruisedBananasAreSweeter #BandofVices - curated by @TerrellTilford (at Band of Vices) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9cbkRNFk1u/?igshid=1vwula3qeqav6
