My favorite Los Angeles based contemporary artist, Sarah Cain is currently showing some of her pieces at the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art. I had the opportunity to view her solo exhibition featuring some of her recent projects showcasing abstract paintings on traditional canvas. Cain is known for bringing life to plain canvas by her use of color and form while adding flare by including poetic and unusual artifacts. Her artwork fuses together on a formal level creating an ambiguous masterpiece when completed. Cain’s work has become my favorite because of her use of bright colors bringing out femininity while evoking emotion & memory to the conscious mind.

The Walt Disney Concert Hall is a prime example of a deconstructivist structure which was developed from postmodern architecture. By looking at the concert hall as a whole, you are able to see the manipulation of the structures surface along with its non-rectinilinear shapes. As your eyes move along the hall, you will find the dislocation and distortion of elements in its architecture. The unpredictability and controlled chaos of the concert hall are both mesmerizing and visually stimulating, encouraging the visitor to look up and enjoy every angle of this eye-catching masterpiece.

Aesthetically pleasing and visually stimulating art work is how I would describe the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles (MOCA). The primary pieces that are shown here are European and American contemporary art consisting of pieces that date back from the 1940’s.  When I walk into each room, I go in with a purpose; to get lost and forget where I am. I’ve always been a frequent visitor to art museums and it’s because for me, art magnifies my thoughts to the point I can’t hear my mind.  So when I want to explore and lose my mind for a bit, I come here because this is where I find my solitude.
