Their current exhibition shows the work of Ana Serrano, a Mexican-American who preserves the ephemeral nature of her LA home city. Serrano has created an imaginary version of a neighbourhood where the smallest details have been plucked from the maelstrom and playfully mixed together. She explains "I wanted to pull out everything that I liked in the city and then condense it".
The candy colours and vibrancy turn details that came from working class suburbs in to a Disney Land make-believe world. Not only do they look amazing but there are layers of commentary that are equally as interesting. Here are some of Serrano's cardboard sculptures made prior to the show at The Rice Gallery. Enjoy! A
