In "Downtown LA 2," Glen Wilbert photographs a bright yellow beam cutting diagonally across the frame in front of two tall downtown Los Angeles towers, with a columned older building and a palm tree visible at the lower left.
The composition sets a single strong diagonal, the sunlit yellow-and-orange beam with its round bolt heads, against the cool vertical lines of the skyscrapers behind. Glen shot from below and let the beam slice the image corner to corner, dividing modern glass towers from the classical facade beneath. The pale blue sky and warm beige buildings keep the palette soft, while the saturated yellow band anchors the eye. The contrast of old and new architecture sits within one frame.
This is a companion to Glen's other downtown Los Angeles studies, again treating the city's structures as a composition of color, line, and angle in the manner of West Coast pop minimalism.
A study in pastel tone and bold diagonal, where the city is built from a single crossing line.
