In her most recent body of work, artist Fielden Harper expands her Santa Monica landscape focus to include the larger urban area of Los Angeles. Harper’s architectural painting technique serves as a visual record of the growth and development she encounters on a daily basis. In a city as vast and multifaceted as Los Angeles, Harper says that she feels it is impossible to capture its essence all at once as it comes to her in small, powerful bursts of color and energy. Painting cityscapes and graceful freeway patterns on wood as well as traditional canvas surfaces, Harper’s work echoes her environment. Webs of skyscrapers and varied residential landscapes highlight the equally varied communities of Harper’s experience. Harper’s work reveals the city’s ever-changing fragments, stitching these images together into an urban mosaic.
