Los Angeles Street Light Painting

paintings > street lights

“Isolation” is an abstract urban cityscape painting by contemporary artist Teale Hatheway. In it, a beautiful, glowing lantern is seen casting light from behind a high hedge. Teale chose the subject of lamp posts as way to share a sense of optimistic interconnectedness with the world around her through the expression of beauty, history and public spaces. This pop-art styled artwork is composed entirely of fragmented, visual elements of assorted city street lights utilizing hand cut stencils made from drawings, aerosol paint and metal leaf on translucent acrylic sheet. The mixed media painting can be displayed individually or in clusters and can be mounted against a wall, hung away from a wall or suspended from a ceiling.

This is an original painting on canvas. This colorful cityscape painting is inspired by the unique street lights on Wilshire Boulevard, heading west out of Downtown Los Angeles. Teale has often referred to this unusual street light in her paintings, but here it is seen without its metallic glow, cloaked in the uncertain veil of Covid-19.
