“Orgy of the Sick,” an exhibition by Eliza Douglas at Overduin & Co, Los Angeles
Purple is pleased to present “Orgy of the Sick,” an exhibition of new paintings by Eliza Douglas at Overduin & Co, Los Angeles. Based on photographs of T-shirts Douglas takes with her phone , words and images are texturized on the paintings’ surfaces.
“As an effect of this flatness, the fascination is, at least initially, with the distortions the draperies produce in the original motifs: logos, Disney and anime characters, skulls, dragons, wolfs, the virgin Mary, and the lettering of this show’s title: Orgy of the Sick…it is not least the spectacle of those distortions that holds the potential to immediately become sick content on Instagram.” — from Juliane Rebentisch’s essay on Douglas’ work
On view now until August 14, 2021 at Overduin & Co
