Contemporary Artists, Designers, and Photographers
The fine artists, designers, and photographers on this page exhibit work that is simply amazing. I have created this page as a way to keep a track of what I have viewed in person and to help stay on top of the contemporary art world. I live in Long Beach, California, so I am close to Los Angeles, Santa Monica and other surrounding contemporary art communities. Some of the artists are extremely famous and others are still emerging. Please visit the links provided for further artist information.
Amazing Contemporary Artists

Chromogenic fine art prints.
"Allee's photographs expose anonymous places in our contemporary landscape where the forces of architecture, planning, and design have become blurred. Parks, garages, commercial properties and apartment complexes overlap and sit side-by-side, resulting in strange spatial compositions and unusual functional combinations. Using large format negatives and long exposure times, Allee has depicted many of these places at night, enhancing and emphasizing the artificial and synthetic nature of the landscapes. He dramatically captures these "cross lands," which have arisen to fulfill economic and spatial demands of our cities and suburbs as they rapidly grow, merge, and redevelop." - Read the entire press Morgan Lehman show press release.
