Billboard Art at Eco-Logical Art

So, back to last Saturday's gallery bonanza. We hit the opening for a very cool show and concept at Eco-Logical Art, a gallery I'd never heard of until I met Matt Adrian through Etsy. He and his girlfriend, Kim Bagwill, are two of many artists who participated in OFF THE WALL 3, which is, in the words of the gallery, a "unique indoor/outdoor experiment in renewable imagery." Essentially, the artists' paintings were printed on recycled billboard vinyl, and these billboards can now be seen all over Los Angeles. You can see one of the billboards, actually sitting atop the gallery, in the image above. That's Kim's piece on the far right.

I love this concept! Not only does it get out into the public - even better, along highways, where too many Angelenos spend too much art-deprived time - it's recycling used materials, and the art is very cool, to boot.
