From Mediabistro blog UnBeige:
Will Cotton has been whipping up confectionary canvases since before reasonable people began lining up to pay $4.50 for softball-sized cupcakes, but the artist’s latest solo exhibition is a timely treat. On view through February 26 at Michael Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles, the show features new paintings that incorporate figures into his signature sugary landscapes as well as several portrait-format works. Cotton painted the models wearing items of clothing that he created, including a dress based on a foil cupcake wrapper and one made of the pleated pastel papers themselves. There’s also a skirt made of cotton candy, candy tiaras, and the fetching croquembouche chapeau pictured at near right.
And the official gallery site where you can see some photos - one is titled "Katy," as in Katy Perry, of cupcake bra wearing fame, wearing a candy tiara. I'll be in LA the weekend after this one so can hopefully check it out and report back!
