LAB ART Los Angeles and Freixenet Presents: "Everything Popular is Wrong"

LAB ART Los Angeles and Freixenet Presents: "Everything Popular is Wrong"

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1, 2011 Double D's (DD$) is a trio of artists that wildly construct the language of L.A.'s transitional experience. Established in 2005, their work addresses sex, drugs, fame and Hollywood idealism. They ask what it means to be iconic, fabulous, and cool - most importantly, why it even matters.

Each piece developed by DD$ is a three way collaboration. A piece is passed from artist to artist over the course of hours, days or weeks, before completion. DD$'s work utilizes symbols, vibrant colors, bold use of lines, and free flow artistry - culminating in an organic style. With their interpretation of culture through satire and pop surrealism, the collective creates a means for society to humbly digest Los Angeles.

The trio has been creating this show in Hollywood, California since early this summer. They have been influenced by the culture, street art, gang graffiti, and unrest that makes Los Angeles tick. Other significant influences include artists Rene Magritte, Barry McGee, KAWS, Jeff Koons, Walt Disney, Charles Shultz, and Bill Waterson, also, their friends and contemporaries such as Gosha Levochkin and David Flores.

Most of DD$ first series of artwork has been lost, stolen, or, most likely -- sold for drugs. This is their second series.

This exhibition will debut at a private viewing party sponsored by Friexenet sparkling wines, December 10, 2011 at LAB ART and will be open to the public until January 8, 2012.
