Billy Al Bengston More Art

American, b. 1934
Based in Venice, California, Billy Al Bengston burst onto the scene in the 1950s with his passion for motorcycle racing and art. Bengston was discharged from the California College of Arts and Crafts in 1955 for depleting the clay supply. Following this exit, he enrolled at the Otis Art Institute to study under Peter Voulkos whom he later named as a significant influence, along with Richard Diebenkorn. Bengston found immediate success in the Los Angeles art scene, enjoying multiple solo shows at Ferus Gallery and a 1968 exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. His artistic output, mainly sculpture and painting, is informed by a variety of influences that range from his love of motorcycles and car-detailing techniques to recurring geometric shapes similar to those of Jasper Johns. Art historian Andrew Perchuck included Bengston among the "West Coast artists, including Robert Irwin and Ken Price, who were instrumental in redefining the terms of artistic identity in the early 60s by insisting that sub-cultural affinities and leisure-time activities (surfing, car customizing) were at the foundation of their artistic personas."

By Mauro Oliveira
Located in LOS ANGELES, CA
*New Year Inventory Renewal Sale - 90 Days Until April 30th* *This Price Won't Be Repeated Again This Year* "LA Gangstars" is one of the street art style Oliveira is adventuring on. The resin, the glitter and the cars are addition to make the piece even richer and more interesting. The French Bulldogs are now America's favorite dog. After more than 3 decades with the labrador reign, the 'Frenchies' are now the kings and queens of the dog world. This piece is also an homage to Los Angeles, its skyline, the beautiful weather and the busy traffic with fancy cars. These two are 'Billy' and 'Veronica', the gangstar couple who terrorize the greater Los Angeles, controlling the distribution of dog treats in South California. Don't mess with them. Whichever dog you own, this couple with the Los Angeles skyline...
