Benedict Canyon (2020) 绘画 由 Dutch Montana

“Benedict Canyon”, Beverly Hills: 30 x 40 x 1.5: His background colors are what he feels. For a time he lived at the top of Benedict Canyon where his home overlooked the estate of Ann Margret. Benedict Canyon is a long and windy road leading from Sunset Boulevard to Mulholland Drive at the peak. At the bottom of Benedict Canyon and Sunset Boulevard is the famous Beverly Hills Hotel, the scene where the cover for the Eagles “Hotel California” album was shot at dusk, where stars who lived on Benedict Canyon Drive over the years would meet. Stars with Benedict Canyon Drive addresses over the years include Lauren Bacall, Jacqueline Bisset, Humphrey Bogart, Charlie Chaplin, Janice Dickinson, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Murphy, Kim Kardasian, Elizabeth Montgomery, Gene Simmons, Mark Wahlberg, Lara Flyn Boyle, Belinda Carlyle, Barbara Eden, and Jennifer Grey no to mention Heidi Fleiss and Roman Polanski. The Beverly Hills Hotel is still today where Hollywood power lunches and movie and studio deals are discussed and closed. The iconic hotel is painted in a a soft pink which he replicates here and is highlighted in soft greens of the surrounding landscape of the place. As always, the ever present sunshine, golden sun, the minimalist palms, along with his blue sky signifying hope for a new day are all in this piece. This location, where the earliest visionaries of what became the City of Beverly Hills, was originally called Rancho de las Aguas, the “Ranch of the Waters” as a number of underground streams and the filtering of rainwater from the hills trickle down the hillsides and meet at roughly where the Benerly Hills Hotel sits today. The colors he uses reflects his visions of place and time, and the use of the soft pinks are clearly his statement to the Beverly Hills Hotel.
