KidLike -

is a solo exhibition that explores what it means to return to a younger way of seeing, before rules were fixed, before things had to make sense. Through figurative abstraction and intuitive line, the work embraces play, imperfection, and emotional honesty as a way of reconnecting with the inner child.

The paintings feel remembered rather than observed. Faces overlap, objects drift, and familiar scenes depicted; tables, chairs, snacks, drawings appear slightly off, as if recalled mid-thought. The work resists polish in favor of freedom. As the artist describes it, “I want people feel that its ok to draw with their left hand” to create, look, and feel without fear, worry, or the pressure to get it right.

Rather than recreating childhood, KidLike focuses on what endures: curiosity, softness, humor, and the willingness to try without knowing the outcome. The work invites viewers to loosen their grip on certainty and reconnect with a more instinctive, open way of being.

Installed inside Hot Tongue Pizza in Silver Lake, the exhibition intentionally blurs the boundary between art and everyday life. The casual, communal setting reinforces the show’s central idea; that play doesn’t belong only in the past, and that seriousness isn’t required for something to be meaningful.
