Littlefield NYC is pleased to present Eat Peter to Feed Paul, an interactive art experience that melds fine art, installation, sound, and performances in a collaborative presentation conducted by John Felix Arnold III and Christopher Burch, backed by a DJ set from the Reverend McFly and Charles Faxton, and featuring opening night performances by Ninjasonik and Ken South Rock.
Eat Peter to Feed Paul examines the idea that a large section of society have become and are becoming “self sacrificing parasites”, and that there are those who are able to be conscious of this existence and look at it from outside of the cycle. Through a new body of drawings and installation Bay Area based artists John Felix Arnold III and Christopher Burch ironically explore the violent complex series of relationships between hyper consumerism and the inevitable consumption of self. This will be the first time the two artists have shown together in New York City.
Eat Peter to Feed Paul will be exhibited from 6-9pm, with free hordourves, refreshments, and a DJ set from the Reverend McFly and Charles Faxton, followed by performances from the Ninjasonik and Ken South Rock accompanied by live painting from the two visual artists.

John Felix Arnold’s drawings and mixed media pieces combine a fine art aesthetic with a stylistic execution that’s intentionally derivative of graphic novels and comics. Equally influenced by this subversive genre of literature, modern dance, and his father’s collection of modern and abstract art, Arnold layers imagery with commentary to create a hybrid reality that references his synthesized human experience and aims to inform people of an ever hurtling machine that they are being wrapped inside of that is eating away at their humanity, yet seemingly cannot live without.
