Trendsetting With Pizza

An on-going exhibition at the Living Arts Centre Gallery in Mississauga is titled More Decent Exposure, which is:
...the culminating exhibition from a call for submissions to students and new graduates of post-secondary arts and design institutions. From over seventy entries by emerging artists, exhibition jurors short listed twelve applicants whose works represent new trends in contemporary practice across a wide range of disciplines. Acting as a window to the near-future of visual arts, the collection is an exciting and challenging application of new materials and ideas. This is the second exhibition of its kind, the first was DECENT EXPOSURE, 2012.
One whose work "represents new trends in contemporary practice" is An Dy (Andy, I suppose) who has a painting selected for the exhibition titiled: Pizza Party.

Here is An Dy in front of his piece, from the Mississauga News article:

I took the two images below on my last visit (with clenched teeth, the whole experience was unpleasant, and I only went through it for the photos I was able to get!). They are close-ups of the masterpiece.



Here is An DY's Facebook page, with other ghoulish gems.
