THE BEAUTY WAR
Cakeland Gallery Los Angeles is proud to present “The Beauty War”, a light-meets-dark fine art experience. Part dark ride, part hallucinatory Hall of Mirrors -- The Beauty War's contrasting labyrinth of rooms hold allegorical references to the universal archetypes we all traverse; from birth, independence, fear of the unknown, personal actualization, spiritual illumination and death.
Since its inception in 2005, Cakeland has been widely known for producing wild and delicious looking cake-themed, kaleidoscopic art experiences. Though we have helped inspire a generation of food-themed “immersive” experiences, “The Beauty War” is a direct challenge and intellectually responsible alternative to LA’s “pop-up” culture. We use a percentage of our income to invest in causes and organizations that support socioeconomic justice, and a healthy and protected environment.
CAKELAND
Cakeland LA is located in LA’s historic Chinatown just off of the Central Plaza, surrounded by an abundance of shops and restaurants. The surrounding area offers ample street parking and is in very close proximity to the 110 freeway and public transportation routes.
SCOTT HOVE
The artist behind Cakeland and "The Beauty War," has been doing fully immersive cake themed art installations since 2005. Using nature as the ultimate authority and guide, Cakeland is Scott Hove's personal mission to give viewers a transcendent art experience using his take on traditional and natural themes of beauty, with classical design principles, color and pattern found in nature, and spiritual depth.
Beauty commands respect and an open heart. With a surprising choice of materials, Scott will use illusion, artifice, and context to create an unforgettable journey from heaven to hell and back again.
