Item Details
The tiled artworks on gateway arches at the Westwood/Rancho Park Station depict the legs of travelers headed to their destinations: a business professional with her rolling briefcase, a parent with a stroller and a hummingbird in flight. Looking at the illustrations, the viewer may notice the standing figures combine styles of dress from the past as well as the present, collapsing time and place into a series of narrative stances. Each figure is purposefully placed to create a story of place illustrated through the act of commuting. This piece was made by Mexican-born, United States-based hyperrealist artist, Abel Alejandre.
