黛比·瑞达Debbie Reda的个展「侏罗纪好朋友 Jurassic Friends」正在上海恪理画廊展出。艺术家从生活本身出发，创作出了小怪兽系列作品，并为其注入幽默和讽刺，反映了日常生活中的不同情绪和环境。来自外太空的小怪兽从地球诞生之日就生活在这里，经历了岁月变迁却依然保留干净纯洁的心灵。快乐和积极的心态是他们面对生活的态度，对凡事都能一笑而过的幽默感是他们的性格标签。来到地球探险的小怪兽们爱上了自然和人类。并且由于对人类产生了迷恋，这些怪物开始融入人类生活的方方面面，并以人类的方式生活。他们带着孩童般的好奇和天真发现世界，并将快乐传播到每一个角落。
在全新个展中，Debbie此番中国个展首次创作了她称之为“多重”的非常艺术品，这些作品共同探讨了友情和感情的话题。个性迥异的小怪兽们集结到一个场景中，并通过表情刻画赋予形象不同的情绪表达。甜蜜与酸涩，苦涩与冷漠，细微的变动中彰显着情绪的张力。每一件大型作品的背后都是艺术家耗费超过一个月时间的创作精华，每年艺术家仅出品5幅类似画作 。大画幅作品并结合侏罗纪时代的生存背景，让观者迅速进入了想象力的时空隧道，跟随艺术家一起回到了那个原始的纯真年代。
