SURFACES OF LA

Los Angeles, Terminal 27 hosted a physical and virtual exhibition entitled “Surfaces” featuring diverse works by the creative duo Hot Mess — comprised of Luka Sabbat and Noah Dillon. For the presentation, Sabbat and Dillon incorporate materials scavenged from the Los Angeles landscape into their mixed-media pieces. With these art objects, the artists pay homage to the West Coast city while exploring the relationship between identity and materiality.

Artist, Noah Dillon takes literal pieces of the Los Angeles landscape and mounting them as you would see a painting or photograph. LA is the center of the make it big mentality. The last stop across the West. The land where impossible can become.

Surfaces of LA in a gallery setting speaks to the proverbial real estate of Los Angeles. Symbols of the unattainable. Pieces of the land transcend their material form. Physical objects that encapsulate the identity of the city and the desires behind. A true and honest reflection of the place we live.

Accompanying the artworks is a selection of exclusive merchandise spanning caps and tees designed by Hot Mess.
