Elliott Hundley, a multidisciplinary artist influenced by cinematic archetypes, has transformed a former engine factory in Los Angeles' Chinatown into a live-work space. This 18,000-square-foot building has evolved from an import warehouse to a vibrant place that blurs the lines between functional and fine art. Hundley's studio showcases various art forms and fosters interaction among artists, creating a modern artistic salon filled with community engagement and creative expression.
"I was obsessed with the idea of New York artists in these huge lofts, like Nick Nolte in New York Stories. That was my fantasy of how I wanted to live."
"I don't see a difference between functional art and fine art. Function is just another layer of meaning... I'm always interested in interaction and ways of integrating aesthetic experiences into our daily lives."
His loft operates like a latter-day salon, frequently abuzz with convivial gatherings of the creative class, presided over by his three dogs and his parrot.
Today, it is a place where art and design slip the bonds of their traditional ghettos to form a kaleidoscopic wonderland of beauty and inspiration.
