Ellie Krakow's 'Comfort Corners' at Foyer LA
Ellie Krakow's solo exhibition 'Comfort Corners' at Foyer LA in Los Angeles uses sculpture to explore chronic illness through a Ballardian lens. The works merge hospital beds and monitors with distorted body parts, employing rounded edges and muted hues to invite rather than repel viewers. The show features pieces like 'Open Arm' (2026) and 'Rail' (2025), which convey acceptance and resistance through body language. Krakow avoids specifying any particular condition, allowing broad accessibility. The exhibition runs until an unspecified date.
