Los Angeles is a place packed with incredible contrasts, with brilliant hues, vivacious vistas, and dramatic landscapes, and cityscapes, capturing our most fantastical fancies.<\/p>\n

LA artist Joshua Vides has long been plugged into the “high contrast experiences” found around Southern California, including those marvel-filled moments that “… dissolve the distinction between reality and illustration.”<\/p>\n

The show came together over nine busy days as Mr. Vides painting a quintet of cars inside the gallery, as well as the walls and other elements.<\/p>\n

Look to “Flat Out: The Art of Joshua Vides,”<\/a> now on exhilarating view at the Petersen Automotive Museum.<\/a><\/p>\n

“With his ‘Reality to Idea’ style, Vides makes real-world objects appear as striking black-and-white, two-dimensional illustrations,” shared the Petersen Automotive Museum.<\/p>\n

“To create this effect, he painstakingly hand-paints crisp black lines onto all-white surfaces to create monochromatic graphic artwork that resembles flat comic book sketches.”<\/p>\n

The Petersen team says that some of the past collaborations enjoyed by Mr. Vides “… include Nike, Converse, Fendi, Google, and G-Shock.”<\/p>\n

The show opened in late June and will be on view at the Miracle Mile museum through early July 2027.<\/a><\/p>\n

“I’ve had the opportunity to paint numerous vehicles and create galleries before, but to bring ‘Reality to Idea’ to life in a gallery at the Petersen is a dream come true,” said the artist.<\/p>\n

“Every vehicle provides a unique canvas, as do the spaces they are set in. Doing this at the Petersen was such an honor, and I am excited for the public to experience this exhibition.”<\/p>\n
