KP Projects is proud to present Eric Nash :: Streets of LA.

Eric Nash’s work celebrates scenes from daily encounters with a city he loves :  Los Angeles. Street signs, notable buildings, businesses signs and iconic landmarks become cinematic landscapes and urban still life’s, when rendered in Nash’s meticulous monochromatic palette. Charcoal is the selected medium for Nash’s drawings, and is a thoughtfully specific choice, offering a dramatic and intentional juxtaposition of shadow and light. While a laborious material to work with, charcoal, when rendered with the skill and experience  Nash possesses, creates a sense of hyper-realism and contrasting tonal range that parallels the black and white realism of photographic stills.

"Amongst so much current heartbreak, injustice, and upheaval; this show is meant to be an oasis of the calm and familiar. It was therapeutic for me to create. Drawing these recognizable images was like writing a love letter to Los Angeles. Streets of LA is a title I chose carefully. LA is a city that brings people together in the spirit of possibility and creativity. Underlying that is the common canvas of a metropolis we all share. I am a documentarian realist. I look for beauty in the universal and the everyday and elevate it to the iconic. Each image is a beginning of both a personal and collective story. Places we pass routinely and experience together no matter who we are. I work to capture these in timeless portraiture. These drawings represent the common anchors of our past and present."     – Eric Nash
