Celebrated for bravura renderings of little girls in frilly dresses and violent moods, the Los Angeles artist Dingle stopped painting for a number of years while a modest coffeehouse that she founded, called Fatty’s, became an exhaustingly successful restaurant. Now she’s back with “Studies for the Last Supper at Fatty’s,” muralish oils on gridded sheets of vellum, in which terrible tykes eat, drink, whip up enormous pastries, and generally gourmandize their wicked little brains out. Dingle’s Soutine-like panache is wilder and catchier than ever—in, as well as about, excellent taste.
