Belladonna | Adam Beris

Case Edgerton Studios is proud to present, Belladonna, new work for the board by Los Angeles based artist and curator Adam Beris. At the corner of Case and Edgerton on the East Side through August.

Using found imagery as a ‘low-stakes form of drawing’, Beris chose this particular image because of its rudimentary and seductive nature. With its pink backdrop, the veil, the presence of a maquette chapel referencing the history of Case Edgerton Studios, the dog in an almost-reclining pose, the photograph is innocent and playfully perverse at the same time. Functioning as a billboard advertisement with no real goods or products to sell, Belladonna is a welcomed interruption in the urban environment.
