FACES OF LEICA LA
The @downtownartwalk is thrilled to collab with @leicagalleryla for “FACES OF LEICA” to showcase diverse talent and culture shifting photography across the city and beyond.
When Dale Youngman saw the nascent growth of art advocacy in Downtown Los Angeles’ Historic Core in 2005, she saw an opportunity. It was a way to grow an art business on the back of her experience as a consultant and designer for a digital print production company. The timing seemed right.
It was a hot, dog-days-of-summer afternoon when I rolled out of Pershing Square subway station in Downtown Los Angeles and looked up to discover Angelus, the in-progress and reputed “largest mural in the world by one artist.” It was the rendezvous point for my first meeting with the artist himself, Robert Vargas.
