Pae White's art is an uplifting ride on the Beverly Center escalators
In a city as large and sprawling as Los Angeles, it’s easy to miss the little things. But what about the big things? L.A.-based artist Pae White’s recent installations at the Beverly Center shopping center have taken over the walls along the glassed-in architectural detail on either side of the 38-year-old monolith: the five-story escalators.
“Moonsets for a Sunrise” facing La Cienega Boulevard is made of ceramic tiles whose colors correspond to hues of full moons . The metallic glaze of the tiles set against a midnight blue backdrop shifts color as you are pulled skyward. “Day for Night for Day” along Beverly Boulevard pulls off a more interesting trick. It’s made of all-white neon shapes inspired by designs in an ornamental rug. Each handmade tube uses different temperatures to create colors: a blush of pink or peach or blue or yellow. Nighttime is the best time to witness a watery neon reflection in facing buildings.White feels she has transformed the formerly dark building into a “beacon calling out to the hills” .
Pae White’s installations will be on display indefinitely along the escalators at the Beverly Center.Pae White’s art installations at the Beverly Center are “semipermanent,” meaning they’ll be there for a while. They’re part of the renovation of the landmark building that started in 2016 and has included other temporary art installations.
