In the heart of Hollywood this week one of the most titillating and stimulating exhibitions in recent memory arrives as Torbjørn Rødland presents a selection of recent works a new exhibition at [David Kordansky Gallery](http://davidkordanskygallery.com/exhibition/backlit-rainbow-final-to-publish/), entitled _Backlit Rainbow_. The Norwegian-born, LA-based artist has saturated artistic culture since the 1990s with his unforgettable explorations of the taboo, the repugnant, and the strangely beautiful—often all in one well-crafted image. In _Backlit Rainbow_, Rødland continues to push the artistic envelope with textural portraits that maintain a strong mastery of subversive interplay between identity, transgression, and the unexpected.
