Work by Scott Sonner in the Arts District.

Chris O'Mahony

Nomadic Belgian-American artist based in Richmond, Virginia, Nils Westergard has been creating stencil art for about a decade. @GraffitiStreet reports that it's Westergard's "history of theatrical set painting and graffiti shenanigans" that led him to adapt his stencil imagery to large-scale murals, and while his large black and white portraits have a painterly quality, the complex layered graphic work reflects that history. Westergard told @I_Support_Street_Art "I’ve realized how important my friends are to my life.... So I’ve been painting friends that are always around, friends I meet for short periods, and everything in between.” However, while much of his portrait work is of acquaintances, he told me this painting of Poochie was someone he hardly knew but fit a clear concept he had for the wall. Painted in 2018 this portrait is on Seaton St in the Los Angeles Arts District for @TheContainerYard.  @nilsrva/

Hollar..

Chambliss Giobbi at 101/EXHIBIT in Los Angeles through 25 March 2017. A Naturalist fantasy, “Arcadia” is meticulously realized through mobile sculpture and photo-collage. From an art historical perspective, Giobbi references the utopian visions of Hudson River School painters like Frederick Edwin Church or Thomas Cole, but he is aesthetically more in line with the sublime visuals brought on by an MDMA serotonin surge. The artistic experience is a self-referential orchestration of an untouched landscape; nature as we imagine it would be without all that has ever threatened it. MORE
