Randall Kaplan
Randall Kaplan was drawn into uncanny territory at a very young age and has since used it to fuel his work. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Randall was always very sensitive to his surroundings, and the thoughts and feelings they would give him. Much of what frightened or deeply disturbed him as a child he now uses as inspiration for his art. He’s worked in multiple mediums—spanning live action film, animation, painting and illustration. Back in 2009, his short horror films made in college were compiled into the anthology ‘Beneath the Flesh’, distributed by Pathfinder Pictures. Upon the release of the DVD, Turner Classic Movies said on their website of the films; “Kaplan expertly blends the uncanny, grotesque, and the touching”. That’s something he’s continued to strive for in all of his work. A few years back, he began animating a feature length horror film by hand called ‘Boxhead’. He has honed his skills as an artist, animator and filmmaker throughout the film’s development and continued execution. This process also has awakened an obsession and love of painting. He has had a few solo shows exhibiting his work and was included in group shows in several Los Angeles bars and galleries. Randall continues to work as a freelance illustrator, designer, animator and video editor while creating original pieces and making ‘Boxhead’.
