Night Gallery has presented a solo exhibition of sculptures created by Lucile Littot, titled [_It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor's finger_](https://viewingroom.nightgallery.ca/viewing-room/lucile-littot#tab:thumbnails). The exhibition is open in person until September 26th, but remain as an online viewing room through October 24th.
Littot’s work is influenced by ancient and contemporary mythologies, her figurine work delineating whimsical beings that fall within the themes of Old Hollywood glamour, psychedelica, and Expressionism. Some of the featured ceramics utilize the Japanese kintsugi method process of reconstructing broken ceramics with gold and glue, symbolizing that broken souls can be mended.
Littot explains, “The title of the exhibition is taken from a quote of a well-known foot and luxury fetishist, Andy Warhol. The fetish can be found in the inflatable dolls sold on the internet and delivered directly to your home (like Oskar Kokoschka, who asked Hermine Moos, the first manufacturer of rubber sex dolls in the 1900s, to make a doll in effigy of her former lover Alma Mahler, which he later burned and beheaded), to the grotesque beauty and mythical life of Fatales women, sex-symbols à la Jayne Mansfield, whose tragic death in a car accident even still resembles a staging; majestic Buicks still smoking in the night, luxurious wigs and jewels scattered throughout the cosmos, and a dead chihuahua that was later canonized and taxidermied to be exhibited at the Museum of Death on Sunset Boulevard. What could be better for a Beverly Hills Chihuahua?”
