Liz OhanesianIn the back of Robertson Blvd. concept store WeSC, past the hordes of people cramped together between racks of clothing, a small patio had been transformed into a midnight forest. It was the sort of place where if a goblin were to grab one's shoulder, it wouldn't be so surprising. Instead, though, we were treated to Little Dreams, a one-night show from artists Vanessa Prager and Lizzy Waronker.
Prager and Waronker are two very different artists whose styles complement each other nicely. In her paintings, Prager uses rich colors to depict scenes as whimsical as they are tense. Waronker pieces together objects like twigs and broken doll pieces to create fantastically dark worlds in her sculptures. Check out their pieces below.
