Un excellent et remarquable reportage très révélateur avec de belles et impressionnantes prises de vues très évocatrices.
Bon weekend paisible et serein.
The Oceanwide Plaza's towers that have stood vacant since 2019 were if anything, were a blank canvas that awaited an artistic makeover. With their height and prominent visibility, they provided these neo-expressionist artists a well-deserved moment of recognition as media outlets around the world covered their work. Hopefully this recognition will lead to breakthrough moments for many especially since these artists often put everything on the line -- risking their personal freedom, finances, safety and lives.
Aside from heights, these specific artists in Los Angeles also have a lot more to be concerned about such as police interference, earthquakes (when I was in Los Angeles there were two mild earthquakes, the strongest being 2.6, followed by two moderate quakes of 4.6 after I had left) and even crime. Furthermore, they have to be in great physical shape to climb stairs for some 30 or 40 stories weighed down by backpacks and duffel bags of supplies.
In my opinion, I was fortunate to visit Los Angeles just after most of the art was created and to have a prime 27th floor location just across from these towers that provided an optimal perspective for photography. I was even more fortunate to witness one of these artists at work documented by my video. :)
Finally, as I viewed the graffiti in Los Angeles, it was like touring an open-air museum. Along with seeing family and visiting areas such as Hollywood, Malibu, and Santa Monica when in California, the graffiti exhibits were clearly a highlight that brightened the days that featured a seemingly endless deluge. Each day from the Air BNB where I stayed, it was like viewing the works of an art museum that were filled with cheerful and uplifting colors!
Vertiginous series, William! Both from an aerial point of view and the artistic expression.
But art doesn't just follow technical progress: it precedes it.... (or should do so)
