Jason Mecier

"Showgirls and Vampire Slayers"

February 6 - March 1, 1998

A newcomer to the Los Angeles art scene, Jason Mecier comes to us from San Francisco, where his bean and noodle art has made him the toast of the town. A technique inspired by trailer park crafts and macaroni art in particular; it has given the artist a medium in which to create abstract and textural impressions of his favorite images. Those images usually come straight from television, which he considers to be the foundation of the almighty American Pop Culture. He believes it is high time we affirm the importance of television and what it represents. In the tradition of old European court portraiture, these mosaic masterpieces serve as historical monuments for a star struck civilization. In the tradition of Salvador Dali, each piece undergoes a transformation into photorealism as the distance between the viewer and the image increases. This is Mecier's first show at La Luz de Jesus Gallery and the artist would like to state that he will gladly accept all pencil and cigarette lighter donations.

Though we always recommend that you click on the images to see the larger versions, we INSIST that you do so here, to fully appreciate the detail of Jason's works.
