Los Angeles has been in many pictures. Artists like Ed Ruscha and David Hockney have fashioned the city as its muse and model, and now we have a London-based illustrator, George Townley paying homage to the city with a series of illustrations featuring iconic locations in Los Angeles.

His work will be in a new exhibition on April 7 at  Gallery1988, in Glendale.

Townley is a London-based illustrator turning heads and gaining notoriety in the art
industry for his thought-provoking artwork. Despite living in England, he’s always loved sharing
his vision of Los Angeles from an outsider’s perspective, which he captures in full detail in his
stunning pieces added to his exhibition entitled “After Hours.” The collection will be on full
display for art enthusiasts to see and experience firsthand with Gallery1988, a top-rated pop
culture gallery in the Los Angeles area.
When asked about his work, George Townley said, “In my latest collection, I’m placing the focus
on the atmosphere and what makes Los Angeles such an exciting and vibrant place that people
want to visit, each piece gives a unique look at some of the most iconic landmarks in the city,
giving locals an idea of how outsiders perceive the city of Los Angeles through rose tinted
glasses, I’m naturally a night owl, so I thought creating art with a night-time perspective would
allow viewers to see the city through my eyes and have that extra element of peacefulness you
get once the sun starts to set.”

Not only is George Townley creating artwork of what an outsider would expect Los Angeles and
its famous landmarks to look like as the sun begins to set over the horizon, but he’s also
creating these incredible pieces of art at night when he feels his creative juices tend to flow
best.
“There are quite a few landmarks throughout Los Angeles and California, many of which are the
inspiration behind my artwork. As someone who loves being up late at night when the rest of the
world appears to be sleeping, I love diving into my work, which has led to an extensive
collection of thoughtful, colorful prints celebrating some of these hot spots throughout the city,”
shared the London-based artist.
In addition to bringing revolutionary artwork to the industry, showcasing stunning pieces that are
sure to inspire and encourage those who view them, he is looking forward to his latest art show
in Los Angeles, slated to take place on April 7th. During the event, guests can browse through
his exhibit of limited edition prints whilst enjoying good food, listening to music, and socializing
with like-minded individuals who are just as passionate about art. Many of the people planning
to attend the upcoming event are those with a genuine love for George Townley’s artwork who
look forward to showing up to support him and his latest creations.
