Ed Ruscha

Ed Ruscha was raised in Oklahoma, he moved to Los Angeles in 1956 where he attended Chouinard Art Institute. Rushca uses paint, photography, and drawing to create his work. He currently works and lives in Los Angeles. Rushca is one of the many artists participating in Pacific Standard Time, an event where Los Angeles artist are celebrated. I enjoy Rushca's combination of text with backgrounds consisting of value scales.
