Gehry studied architecture and designed unusually shaped buildings with a modern aesthetic. Sketches of his building designs later inspired him to create the abstract paintings displayed in “Gemini G.E.L.”

The exhibit’s layout consists of two rooms. The first room contains Gehry’s later work and the second room is filled with his early work. The exhibition’s walls are white and all the artwork is displayed in simple frames.

Gehry’s work featured in “Gemini G.E.L.” consists of a vast quantity of work from both his early and later life. Gehry’s early work contains a consistent pattern of shapes and illusions while later in life he based most of his work to appear as quick sketches laying on top of one another.

The array of detailed images displayed in the first room of the exhibition consists of unique and captivating detailed images. Gehry’s creative architectural designs allow him to illustrate an impressive amount of well-structured, abstract, analytical designs on large canvases.

“House Study 1” is one of the most striking pieces in the exhibition; many images can be seen throughout the illustration. The lack of color in the black and white work allows the artwork to be appreciated by the viewers who can decide for themselves the image depicts.

Gehry’s art displayed at “Gemini G.E.L”  is very diverse and showcases his multitude of skills utilizing architecture. The artist’s work is very inventive and modern and was showcased elegantly and throughout exhibition.

One less successful piece is “Vuitton/Korea.” There is no distinct image in the artwork, unlike most of Gehry’s work. This piece is confusing and distracting due to the lack of imagery, making it appear reckless.

“Gemini G.E.L.” is open for free viewing at 8365 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles.
