This is one of the coolest museums
around Los Angeles. The old train station that is now divided into
numerous sub galleries featured everything from jewelry and fine oil
paintings to abstract sculpture and modern works. The Mickaline
Thomas exhibition was vibrant and unexpected; full of large, colorful
portraits and landscapes in her own, definitive style. Though her images are of real life scenery, her use of color is both original and shifts the overall feel of each painting.
In addition to
this, I checked out the artist galleries at Bergamont Station. There
were fantastic sculptures from the LA Art Collective, some dark,
horror themed galleries, and in general some wacky paintings and
photographs I couldn't quite comprehend. There was a series of pieces
woven between a wooden frame with string and wire, as well as wooden
mosaic pieces that were a result of a google search for various
people and things, such as “Brian Urlacher” or “LA Lakers”.
Overall, this museum was a great experience. I will definitely
return, and hopefully with some money because I would have loved to
buy some of these.
