Los Angeles-based artist Jake Longstreth explores two major themes in his body of work. His architectural scenes depict the ubiquitous commercial hubs that proliferated the United States in the 1990s. Today, these familiar beige structures still stand in the era of online retail, but for how long? Longstreth's landscape series depicts trees and landscapes distinct to Southern California, all illuminated through the region’s characteristic smoggy atmosphere. Both themes, taken together, demonstrate Longstreth’s interest in the broad cultural and economic forces shaping our world.
