Green Machine Painting

I started a series of abstract work (a style I was not accustomed to working in), after viewing Chris Burden's kinetic sculpture Metropolis II at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The sculpture is an elaborate, interwoven steel structure that resembles a frenzied city with miniature cars racing through it, and it's loud! I saw the work shortly after moving to Los Angeles, after having lived in a series of smaller cities. The sculpture seemed like a simulation of the new city I was in but also mimicked the hum of pandemonium I was feeling trying to break into a place where everything is new. It was chaotic, exciting, and beautiful in its organization. Metropolis II fills the room, and visitors can view it from a second story, for a more aerial view. In Green Machine I was inspired to try to capture the noise of this sculpture and Los Angeles in a disjointed but cohesive way. I wanted it to be unsettling but inviting, disorganized yet systematic. The painting is signed, dated and is ready to hang with hardware attached.
