Early life

Corbell was born in Los Angeles in 1977.

After graduating from the Harvard-Westlake High School in 1995, Corbell entered the University of California, Santa Cruz, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in "Quantum Studies."[1]

Martial arts career

Corbell is a Black Belt in Jujitsu.[1] In 2001, his first book was published, Radiant Source - Cultivating Warrior Consciousness, about his philosophy of martial arts.[2]

Corbell taught Jujitsu and Yoga at the University of California Santa Cruz for many years,[3] developing his own styles of martial and healing arts, Quantum Jujitsu and Warrior Yoga. He has appeared in Black Belt Magazine, Yoga Journal, and others.[4]

At-risk youth programs

Corbell developed a martial arts and yoga curriculum to provide training for at-risk youth. This includes a Juvenile Hall yoga program[1] to incorporate his philosophy of meaningful living with the practical instruction of Warrior Yoga. Following discharge from Juvenile Hall, students continue instruction during and after their probation period.[3]

Film work and demonstrations

Corbell has consulted on films such as I Am Number Four and Bunraku, and for video games such as UFC Undisputed 2010.[5] One of his Jujitsu demonstrations has received over 5.9 million views on YouTube.[6]

Near-fatal illness

While traveling in Nepal and India in 2004 Corbell contracted Valley fever. He lost more than 35 pounds (16 kg), experienced daily fevers, hallucinations, and distorted vision. He made it home to be treated by doctors at UCLA. Unable to practice martial arts for over a year due to medical complications, he began creating art.[7]

Fine art career

In 2004, Corbell began secretly harvesting local building demolitions for early-century windows and doors in the Los Angeles area. He began recycling them into art installations. Over the years Corbell has exhibited numerous bodies of work in avant-garde locations, private settings and galleries across the United States. His invitational art events have generated national interest and press.[8][9]

Notable art exhibitions

Some of the exhibitions by Corbell include:

• Death to Life: Corbell disassembled computers and embedded them into vintage doors and windows harvested from local Los Angeles demolitions. The pieces were distributed throughout the Los Angeles area and showed rotating imagery and sounds from his travels in Nepal and India.[10][11]

• Factory Girl Exhibition: In coordination with a pre-premiere of the Factory Girl (2006 film), Corbell exhibited an original body of work as part of a comparative exhibition with a series of privately owned Andy Warhol paintings.[12]

• ICON: Life Love & Style of Sharon Tate: In honor of the 40th anniversary of Sharon Tate's passing, with the blessing of the Tate family[13] he created a 350-piece historic art exhibition celebrating Sharon Tate's style and life. The art and fashion based exhibition showcases images of her wardrobe by designers such as Christian Dior, Thea Porter, Ossie Clark and Yves Saint Laurent.[14]

• Strange Love: An artistic collaboration between Corbell and Katrina Bea held in historic downtown Los Angeles. The body of work included assemblage works, paintings, photography, film and fashion.[15]

• Bunraku Art Experience: Chateau Marmont: Held at the Chateau Marmont (Penthouse 64) in Hollywood California, Corbell hosted a one night only art installation for the cast of the Bunraku (film) by Director Guy Moshe. In lieu of a premiere, Corbell's art exhibition revealed images and art pieces of Demi Moore, Josh Hartnett, Woody Harrelson, Ron Perlman and Kevin McKidd.[16]

Fashion design

In the Summer of 2010, Corbell launched his art-apparel line called ICON Apparel. A collaboration with Five Four Clothing's Creative Director Andres Izquieta, ICON Apparel was inspired by Corbell's mixed media art. Each piece was hand-touched and autographed by the artist. The line launched at Fred Segal in Santa Monica California and was limited edition.[17]
