Before becoming the tanned, laid-back, West Coast dude that I am today, I was a pale, high-strung, East Coast art student who worked at a bank to help pay my tuition. For that reason, I felt very much at home at
Los Angeles Nomadic Division's new exhibition
Painting in Place - a contemporary painting survey mounted in the historic
Farmers & Merchants Bank in Downtown Los Angeles.
The stately old building proves a fascinating setting for a contemporary art show and with a stacked roster of well-known contemporary artists participating in the exhibition, it's worth checking out. I've included some images below, but come on, it's a show about
place, they would probably prefer that you go see it in person.
