Diane Nebolon Silver is a native Los Angeleno who explores and expands her perspective of her homeland through paintings as rich and layered as the city itself. She says, “These paintings represent my experience with the city. Birds eye imagery of the roadway which sketch the Los Angeles River, the downtown area and the constant movement in and around it.”

Nat George is fascinated by LA’s urban landscape and finds meaning in areas which are underused, overlooked or even threatened. The viewer is presented with a visual problem through the introduction of an out-of-place yet iconic architectural element – the lifeguard tower – questioning issues of land use and perceived value in the face of unbridled development or blatant neglect. As a symbol of a bygone era, the lifeguard tower creates a bizarre scene within the city scape. Out of place, out of context and rendered useless as to its original purpose, the structure’s presence raises questions around stewardship of the land, it’s financial or perceived value, public use of space, and historic preservation in the city of Los Angeles.

Although Santa Fe Avenue looks accessible from 1st Street on the map, it appears to be currently blocked. Your best bet is to go along 1st street to S. Vignes, turn right on Vignes, left on 2nd, and right on Santa Fe. The building is on the corner of 2nd and Santa Fe.

We had a very successful opening on March 1st; I’m still waiting for the event pics but we had a big turnout, and Citizen LA showed up to take some pictures.
We’re having a closing reception this Friday, March 7, 8-10 pm (Upstairs @ The Market Gallery, 1057 S. San Pedro, LA 90015). Here are photos of the finished pieces currently exhibited in the gallery. These can be viewed by appointment weekdays until 5pm by calling Diana Moody at 213-746-0646 (until March 10), or at the closing reception.
Aside from the landscapes, I also exhibited a series of 6 (10×10) pieces depicting the graphic outline of the lifeguard tower in front of the famous “Jesus Saves” sign in downtown LA.

I haven’t had a minute to blog lately; the show is coming up and I am still putting the finishing touches on several pieces. They’re all 48 x 36, in oil, and there is a lot of drying time between layers. I’ve definitely had to readjust to the slower pace of painting VS shooting and editing video since I’ve gone back to my brushes. Technical mediums seem just a lot more immediate – for me at least. But working on several paintings at a time does create momentum as I move between canvases and add layers while others dry.
Here’s a few quickie snapshots of some of the pieces in progress. Forgive my camera, it’s a little wonky.

Upstairs @ The Market Gallery presents two solo shows by Los Angeles based artists Nat George and Nuttaphol Ma. George’s canvases and Ma’s site-specific works both echo ideas of history, locality, and belonging.
Nat George | urban landscapes
Nat George provides several large oil paintings for the exhibition. A recent Los Angeles transplant, she is fascinated by LA’s urban landscape and finds meaning in areas which are underused, overlooked or even threatened. The viewer is presented with a visual problem through the introduction of an out-of-place yet iconic architectural element – the lifeguard tower – questioning issues of land use and perceived value in the face of unbridled development or blatant neglect. As a symbol of a bygone era, the lifeguard tower creates a bizarre scene within the city scape. Out of place, out of context and rendered useless as to its original purpose, the structure’s presence raises questions around stewardship of the land, it’s financial or perceived value, public use of space, and historic preservation in the city of Los Angeles.
Nuttaphol Ma | off the wall
Nuttaphol Ma’s relentless process of peeling away, supported by endless, patient observation, forms the basis of his artistic discipline. He examines patterns and sequences, which present themselves as strings of events, recurring found shapes and numbers. The artist records these dialogues through photography, performances, video and text. Ma’s current site-specific sculptural works map the artist’s abstraction of how he weaves between dreams of leaving and dreams of roots; between past and present; between longing and not Be longing.
Upstairs @ The Market Gallery is operated by The City Market of Los Angeles and is located in one of the oldest produce markets in the country, providing free space for emerging and established local artists.
Directions & Parking: Exit the 10 freeway at San Pedro Street. Proceed North on San Pedro to 11th Street. Turn left on 11th and turn right to enter through the gate. Free gated parking is provided within steps of the gallery.
FREE ADMISSION
This project is partially in satisfaction of an Art Development Fee obligation, Cultural Affairs Dept., City of Los Angeles.
