EXHIBITION

Dab Art Co. is pleased to present COMPLEX, a solo exhibition of works by Jessica Burke. View the online exclusive COMPLEX in its entirety on our collectors platform ARTSY (Aug 22 - Nov 22, 2022).

This body of work express the language of excess and consequence. The role of the predator and the prey have been reversed within this cage of complex carbohydrates. The presence of an animal skull represents a traditional predator, but it also speaks to the fragility and fleeting nature of life. We interact with food intimately- we consume it, we digest it, and we internalize it in multiple senses. Food defines ordinary life and special occasions alike. It can create pleasure and provoke shame. It becomes a vehicle for stories that investigate the body, identity, gender, community, the domestic, the sacramental, economics, politics, and the environment. The artificial architecture of these overindulgent spaces represents a new predator encased in saccharine sweet genetically modified and ultra-processed foods. It is a portrait of in flux anchored by our cultural obsession with the artificial and detrimental.
