Angel City Eats

Gallery KM is pleased to present Angel City Eats, a multi-media installation created as a collaboration between father and daughter Jackson and Sienna De Govia.  Angel City Eats is an exhibition focusing on two obsessions in the city of Los Angeles – celebrity, and food - and exploring them through two fantasy visions of Los Angeles as it has been represented in the popular lexicon:  that of the 1950’s television show “Dragnet”, and that of contemporary reality TV as exemplified by Kim Kardashian.   The exhibition features six tableaux of life-sized figures painted on cutout wood flats and four groups of large-scaled wall-mounted character portraits by Jackson, as well as twenty food sculptures by Sienna using materials ranging from glass, clay and metal to fabric, beads, and edible candy.   The characters and food sculptures combine to form larger-than-life tableaux that viewers are invited to move through and around as they navigate the exhibition space. The gallery will hold a reception for the artists on Saturday, December 10, from 5-8pm, during which audience members will be encouraged to consume several of the edible sculptures.
