Artists Reimagine Iconic Oscar Statuette
11 Mar
Summary
- Thirteen Los Angeles artists are transforming Oscar statuettes.
- The transformed statues will be exhibited in West Hollywood.
- The exhibition opens on March 12 and runs through March 21.
The third annual Art of Oscar exhibition is set to open this Thursday, March 12, in West Hollywood. This event showcases thirteen Los Angeles-based artists who have been commissioned to reimagine the iconic Oscar statuette. The exhibition, running through March 21 at the Megan Mulrooney gallery, offers a unique perspective on the coveted award.
Previous editions of this tradition have featured artists transforming the statuette into imaginative creations. This year's collection promises to be equally unconventional, with notable pieces including a glazed earthenware candelabra, a mirrored cupid doll titled 'This Is Spinal Tap,' an Oscar depicted in a wheelchair, and a statuette presented alongside a loaded revolver.
The featured artists represent a diverse range of artistic disciplines, including painting, sculpture, fiber art, and assemblage. The opening reception for the exhibition is scheduled for Thursday, March 12, from 5 to 8 p.m. The gallery is located in West Hollywood, with the exhibition accessible to the public until March 21.
