A painted resin depiction of the Academy Award statue "Oscar," in a state of advanced decay. This particular statue, one from an edition of three, was covertly placed early in 2010 along the ridgeline of Runyon Canyon Park, where it became the subject of extensive media interest. In an interview published by NBC dated March 6, 2010, when questioned about how he came up with the idea for this project, D*Face responded, "The Oscar ceremony represent[s] the pinnacle of superficiality within the so-called "film industry," where formula and money triumphs over independent creativity and risk. These sculptures are donated to all the actors, actresses and filmmakers of the City of Lost Angels whose talents will never see the light of day. Never give up the struggle, believe in your dreams, try and break the system and remember if all else fails, resort to plastic surgery -- it seems to work!?!” 88 by 30 inches Categories: D*Face
