This is an exhibition about Los Angeles. Well, a particular piece of Los Angeles, a confluence of light, landscapes, and ideas at a specific moment leading to something unique in the city. Six painters are included, residents for many years. All attended, and most have taught at, the various lauded art schools around town. CalArts, Art Center, UCLA, Otis, Pomona, and more. Their works have been displayed in countless group and solo exhibitions throughout the city at venues ranging from major museums to small shows in studios. Their CVs are who's who lists of noteworthy Los Angeles galleries. Their paintings are held in the permanent collections of influential Southern California art museums: the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, the Hammer Museum, and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. In short, their artworks are deeply woven into the last thirty years of contemporary art in Los Angeles.
