Feast: L. Song Wu Solo Exhibition Opening

Feast is structured like an Italian full-course meal, unfolding in stages that explore the eroticism, performance, and violence behind acts of eating and consumption. Each painting resembles a thumbnail for a mukbang video, marked by surreal excess, seductive abundance, and intimate spectacle. Food is arranged with deliberate absurdity, pulled from internet virality, childhood memory, and embodied fantasy, reflecting L. Song Wu’s cross-cultural experiences across the U.S., China, and Italy, three places with deeply distinct but overlapping food traditions, aesthetics, and anxieties.

Feast will be on view at Johansson Projects from November 7 – January 3, 2026 with an opening reception and artist talk on November 8, from 3-5pm.
