Carmen D'Apollonio: I Am Not a Shrimp

Carmen D'Apollonio's first solo gallery exhibition in Los Angeles," I’m Not a Shrimp" highlights the intuitive, self-taught approach and the tongue-in-cheek sensibility that defines her practice and represents an adventure with new typologies and more complex compositions in clay and bronze. Bringing together works into a surrealist landscape, each piece is personified with its own stand-alone narrative through familiar organic forms. As a sculptor, D’Apollonio communicates her mindset and personal observations on everyday life with spontaneity and relentless energy. The exhibition includes a series of floral vessels that reflect what she refers to as her “romantic side.”
