The making of... XVALA's Trash Art...(Not So) Pretty In Chocolate ... 

 A few weeks ago this arrived in the mail...



 WHAT?



...I added "banana molds" and "chocolate bun" to our "to-do" list...right after  "beiber bot scan, paint maggot car, get health insurance and refill eye wash station"

...and so we proceeded to transform trash into chocolate...






...and prepared the piece for it's film debut...set dressing...and fluffing for photo shoot!











and ta-da ... art!

LOS ANGELES, CALI. (September 6, 2012) – Cory Allen Contemporary Art (CACA) announces that Post-PC Artist XVALA has casted a chocolate sculpture from items found in Justin Bieber’s residential trash can that will publicly debut this Saturday at AIS Editions in the Los Angeles’ Brewery Arts Complex.
“Banana Split: A Memento for Celebrity Exes” is a life-size chocolate sculpture of a banana stuffed in a hot dog bun, partially inspired by the media’s relentless coverage of celebrity split-ups and the inevitable outcome of the fledgling relationship of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez.
“XVALA wanted to produce a piece that articulates society’s interest in the destruction of celebrity relationships for some time now”, said Cory Allen.  “Conceptually, it was the perfect marriage discovering the items he needed in Bieber’s trash.”
“The banana and bun combination is a collective implication of social media’s imitation of pop culture,” said XVALA.  “When our personal relationships are exploited, we become intimate with everyone.”
The sculpture was fabricated into chocolate from two of the moldy items selected and salvaged by the artist when he stole the pop star’s residential trash can last month to construct the Bieber robot “BieberBot”.  The mass produced chocolate memento will be accessible to celebrity exes at the 85th Academy Awards on February 24, 2013.
“The ‘Banana Split’ will only exist as a print,” said XVALA.  “Consumption is the art, and it should be divine…and mass produced.”
“We are currently working with several network channels on distributing interests of making celebrity consumption of failed relationships a fine art in chocolate form,” said Cory Allen.  “Hopefully this will help promote the bad tastes of our culture.”
“Banana Split: A Memento for Celebrity Exes” will debut with the “BieberBot” in XVALA’s “Funny Games” show at AIS Editions on September 8th, 2012 at 8:00 PM in the Brewery Arts Complex at 642 Moulton Ave in Los Angeles, California.

SOUTHERN WILDERNESS by gary fernandez



Presenting Gary Fernandez and his first Australian solo exhibition! 

The show will feature his new body of work which consists of sculptures, screen prints, and giclee prints.  The sculptures were created by Pretty In Plastic.  If you find yourself in Perth or Sydney we insist you stop by the Friends of Leon Gallery to check out the show!

A lil' bit of info on the show:

 "Southern Wilderness is an imaginary journey through a magical, whimsical and surreal American South.
It's the place where the unreal crosses the thin line and merges with the real; where Brown Thrashers, squirrels
and rabbits dwell with fantastic fauna, five-legged beasts and witches in foggy forests filled with old trees that
whisper and stir in the night. It is there that the son of the rabbit and squirrel becomes a Contortionist, and where
bees tear the wings from butterflies, trying to steal their beauty and where birds fight to the death"
