McKenzie Fisk’s “Good Luck Don’t Die” at Thinkspace Projects.

Opening virtually this Saturday, May 30th, 2020 at Thinkspace Projects in Los Angeles, California is artist McKenzie Fisk’s solo exhibition, “Good Luck Don’t Die.”

Fisk paints children and animals together through the lens of pop surrealism to represent a raw and unfiltered view of the childhood experience. Fisk believes that animals encounter new things with the same innocence as a child would due to not having a verbal language or any social obligations to the world around them. This is what makes animals the perfect subject to place in the same setting as her child protagonists. As her paintings help to illustrate, animals share the same sense of curiosity, joy, and silliness that children do.

Life can be stressful. Bogged down by responsibility and a seemingly unending list of daily tasks. Being happy is not a given. Life is hard, and it damages every one of us in some way as we enter adulthood. But we can be mended. The secret lies in active participation in these small, everyday moments that we have forgotten to enjoy. Ultimately that’s what Fisk’s work is all about, a reminder that those little moments are always there.
