Hollywoodridge is Jake Moss’ debut solo exhibition at Mitchell Fine Art Gallery, presented as a film production timeline spanning painting, sculpture, installation, video and sound. The exhibition unfolds as an autobiographical narrative shaped by Moss’ childhood experience of scarcity, homelessness and fracture while growing up in public housing in Woodridge, Brisbane.
At first glance, the works are vibrant, inviting and comical. On closer inspection, they reveal intimate and unfiltered realities. Humour and colour operate as entry points, drawing viewers into deeper reflections on class, ambition and self-determination.
Drawing on the mythology of Hollywood — a place that once symbolised distance, glamour and escape — Moss collapses the divide between aspiration and lived experience. In Hollywoodridge, autobiography becomes production: origin stories are reframed as sites of creative power rather than limitation.
