Film by Eric Minh Swenson. S P A C E L I N E S : URBAN LA (The Architecture of Four Ecologies) Los Angeles based artist and designer Seda Saar’s paintings and photographs explore structure, geometry, and patterning found in architecture. At the forefront of what she creates is a fascination with light play and geometries. Inspired by the work of architectural historian REYNER BANHAM (1922- 1988), in his examinations of the built environment in Los Angeles, SPACELINES URBAN LA is an ongoing series of digital and mixed media paintings and photographs superimposing Saar’s spatial constructs and observations of Metropolitan Los Angeles, experienced mostly by car: From the industrial ingenuity of the freeways, ramps, bridges and intersections, to fantastic commercial or residential structures, she constructs spatial observations relating to the contrasting ecologies of the beach, the freeways, the flatlands and the foothills. Saar relates our human connection to the urban environment, as seen and experienced by millions of Angelinos in their daily lives- Neutra Institute Gallery and Museum, 2379 Glendale Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90039 Seda Saar is a Los Angeles based multi-disciplinary artist and architectural designer, working in the multiple mediums of painting, photography, sculpture and most recently installation. She received her undergraduate degree in Interior Architecture from London Metropolitan University with honors. She later followed her family to the US, and spent two decades working in commercial interiors and themed entertainment for major Hollywood studios, designing award-winning attractions and themed environments. Her current work explores the physics of light and dimensional form, as well as interactive experiential design. She has exhibited her work in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, London, Tokyo and Shanghai, and is in permanent collections of private and public institutions. for more information please visit www.studiosedasaar.com For more info on Eric Minh Swenson visit his website at thuvanarts.com.
