Footnotes: Provenance Courtesy of the artist Artist statement: FriendsWithYou is the collaborative art project of Los Angeles based artists Samuel Borkson and Arturo Sandoval III, working collectively since 2002 to create modern modes of spirituality with the mission of having a positive impact on our world. Their artwork has been materialized as experiences, immersive installations, sculptures, paintings, animation, and live performances. Throughout the course of their career, they have exhibited their artworks in museums and public venues worldwide including being the featured artists in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2018. In 2022, the City of Miami Beach commissioned 'Starchild', a monumental steel sculpture installed at W 41st and Pine Tree Drive, which has since been acquired by the City as a permanent artwork. FriendsWithYou released their Rizzoli published monograph We Are FriendsWithYou in May 2014, and they created the hit animation series 'True and the Rainbow Kingdom' on Netflix. Through their work, we connect to ourselves and each other, spreading friendship, building community, and deepening our relationship with the natural world.
