Patrick Guetta Repurposes Brand Imagery for Environmental Messages in LA Studio
In the 346th installment of Hyperallergic's 'A View From the Easel,' Los Angeles-based artist Patrick Guetta discusses his studio practice. Guetta repurposes brand imagery to spread environmentalist messages and views the streets of LA as mini museums. He has worked in his current studio for two years, having built it from an empty space. The studio is sunny, private, and peaceful, allowing him to disconnect and immerse in creativity. He walks through Fairfax, Melrose, and Beverly areas, drawing inspiration from graffiti, street art, and visual culture. Guetta prefers acrylic paint for its vibrant colors and uses photography extensively. He feels no need to change his studio, describing it as an extension of his home.
