The 105 Freeway cuts through the city of Paramount just south of the city of Hollydale. Here, in close proximity of warehouses and factories, the Los Angeles River bike path dips below the massive infrastructure of freeway overpasses that seem to float overhead as though part of a contemporary sculptural art installation.
In Los Angeles River painting 63, “A Covid Bike Ride” diagonal polygons of light and curvilinear shadows pose together in a symphony of engineering wonder, a view that is below the freeway and rarely seen. Out of sight, this Composition in Concrete is hidden from view to all but a few wandering homeless and the ever-present cyclists on the Los Angeles River bike path.
