Susanne Vielmetter commissioned architect, Peter Zellner to design her gallery space in Culver City. The exterior he conjured is extraordinary. Just as an artist would use gesso to prep a canvas, simply, Zellner bathed the facade in a rich ebony. I love how he then trafficked an obnoxious, "scribble" tattoo to it's veneer. Perhaps in a nod to pointillism, he positioned picture-style lighting fixtures to dot the roof line. The lone street tree and light standard cleverly balance the intensity of the scribble to the left. Genius.
