Kim Abeles: Palms on the Grid, Smog on Glass
This is the work of Pasadena adjacent artist Kim Abeles. She likes palms, I like palms. The above art is from her current show at the Torrance Museum of Art. Here, shes taken aerial views of our cities grid and located the street trees within it. Using architectural figurines of trees she’s altered, she inserts these 3-D forms into those same locations. It’s a tad more complicated then my brief explanation. Go see for yourself.
In the spirit of Ed Ruches’ Sunset Strip project Kim has documented “The Golden Mile”. It’s the main street of the West Adams district of Los Angeles West Bromich in England. You can find a piece of Kim’s art nearby in Pasadena. It’s titled “Illuminated Fig” and located on the wall of the Marriot Hotel off Pacific Alley.
