Explore artist Ariana Papademetropoulos' hyperreal oil paintings at MAMA Gallery in L.A.
March 12 will see the opening of Wonderland Avenue, Ariana Papademetropoulos’ debut exhibition at MAMA Gallery in Downtown L.A. “The show explores the mythology that surrounds Los Angeles in both its light and dark histories," says Papademetropoulos. “It references a place that only is meant to exist in fantasy yet in reality has taken a more sinister turn.” In this body of paintings the Los Angeles native explores the physical and psychological, offering a “voyeuristic glimpse of another dimension," through pictorial surfaces that reference reality yet ultimately remain an illusion.
