Sayre Gomez Exhibition 'Precious Moments' Explores Childhood Through Sculpture and Video
Artist Sayre Gomez presents his exhibition 'Precious Moments' at David Kordansky Gallery in Los Angeles through March 1, 2026. The show features sculptures of his children titled 'Soldier 1' and 'Soldier 2' (both 2025), inspired by Precious Moments figurines and incorporating their actual clothing. A 21-minute video work from 2026 pairs footage from car windows with music selected by his children. Gomez explains the exhibition represents his attempt to incorporate his children's perspective into his work, creating what he describes as a 'love letter' to his family while reflecting on contemporary anxieties. The exhibition also includes scaled-down sculptures of telephone poles and a model of the unfinished Oceanwide Plaza skyscraper development.
