Eamon Ore-Giron's Infinite Landscapes: Los Angeles para siempre, is a massive architectural piece that transforms the entrance pavilion of the La Brea D Line station into a portal between past and present.

In this episode of Artbound , we trace the making of Ore-Giron's monumental work, from its roots in the Art Deco legacy of the Wilshire corridor to the bold geometric language and radiant color that define the artist's vision. Drawing on influences that span Indigenous iconography, modernism, and the layered cultural history of Los Angeles, the piece reimagines a daily transit space as a site of beauty, memory, and belonging. We also journey into the history of Metro LA’s expansive art collection. From murals and mosaics to sculpture and architectural installations, these commissions turn ordinary stations into galleries woven into the rhythm of Los Angeles.
