Israel\u2019s art can be understood as emerging from his Los Angeles-based life, and it is often referred to as a portrait of LA. This Californian city, with its vibrant film, tech, media and pop culture, serves as source material, subject matter and muse for his art, in which he appropriates, transforms and comments on elements of the city\u2019s aesthetic and spirit.<\/p>\n<p>In the exhibition,\u00a0<em>#AlexIsrael<\/em>, the artist painted a portrait of Los Angeles that confronted the representations and clich\u00e9s of the city\u2019s history, mixing homage and parody, the codes of the international art world with those of advertising and Hollywood\u2019s factory of quintessential dreams and myths, whose impact extends well beyond Los Angeles. Alex Israel subtly blended images of LA with the magic effects of Hollywood\u2019s film industry through a system of reminders, overlaps and links. His appealing works circled around such themes as the film industry, celebrity culture and the American dream, and their mechanisms were both embraced as well as exposed in all their ambiguity. With his striking and original visual language and multifaceted artistic practice, Israel made new connections between the city of Los Angeles, art history and the cultural productions of LA of both past and present.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0<em>#AlexIsrael<\/em>\u00a0the beach life of Los Angeles was brought into Astrup Fearnley Museet by large-scale sky murals and a monumental life-size pier that extended out into the exhibition space of the main hall. These site specific works set the stage for other narratives: a series of works based on wetsuits and wetsuit-accessories, painted palm trees, self-portraits, profile paintings of the artist superimposed with images of Los Angeles, enlarged lens sculptures originating from his sunglasses and text paintings, inspired by billboards, created in collaboration with author Bret Easton Ellis. The exhibition also included Israel\u2019s early video work like\u00a0Rough Winds\u00a0(2010), his talk show\u00a0As It Lays\u00a0and the premier of a trailer from his movie\u00a0SPF- 18\u00a0(2016). The overall effect was like a gigantic 3D postcard from LA.<\/p>\n<p>Curators: Gunnar B.
