The artist’s works in the
Ground Control exhibition
reference environmental awareness in a
contemplative and hopeful manner.

Featuring legendary artist,
educator and iconoclastic
designer Ed Fella’s rarely seen masterful collages.
These collages, created exclusively for
Ground Control,
are constructed of bits and pieces
collected directly from the streets of
Los Angeles.

This presentation is significant
as the first time showing of
Ed Fella's artwork outside of the museum setting and in a gallery exhibition.



Our environment is not only
the air, water, minerals, organisms,
and all other external factors
surrounding us at any given moment,
but also the social and cultural forces that shape the life of
a person or a population.
We are currently in a continual struggle
with man’s need to exercise
dominion over an ever-expanding territory
and the detrimental side effects of this obsession with
control and consumption.
With rising awareness to the obvious
changes occurring to our climate
and the immediate consequences felt by humanity world wide,
one would expect to find artistic
translation that speaks to the
immediacy of this climacteric event.
With Ground Control,
Seeline Gallery presents a
diverse representation of this ever-evolving story.
