ARTIST TALK | Jake Moss 'Hollywoodridge'

Mitchell Fine Art invites you to join Jake Moss and Director Mike Mitchell to discuss his debut solo exhibition, 'Hollywoodridge'.

'Hollywoodridge’ is Jake Moss’ debut exhibition at Mitchell Fine Art, presented as a film production timeline - spanning painting, sculpture, installation, video, and sound, Jake Moss’s exhibition unfolds as an autobiographical narrative of his childhood experience deeply influenced by scarcity, homelessness and fracture.

Join Jake Moss and Director Mike Mitchell in the gallery on Saturday 21 March, 11am for an Artist Talk to discuss his debut solo exhibition.
** All events are free, no RSVP's required.

At first glance, the artworks are vibrant, inviting, and comical. On closer inspection, they reveal the intimate and unfiltered realities of an unconventional upbringing, focusing on home, belonging, nostalgia, identity and youth.

‘Hollywoodridge resists expectation and stereotype. It is not about where I come from as an idea, but about treating that life with the seriousness, scale, and care usually reserved for cinema.’ says Moss.

The exhibition draws on the mythology of Hollywood, a place Moss felt profoundly distant from in childhood, yet one that symbolised escape, possibility, and transformation, collapsing the distance between glamour and reality and weaving them into a narrative of creative ambition.
