Artist Larry Bell’s red, glass cubes at MOCA Los Angeles are a masterful use of color, materials and space. The artwork is titled “Bill and Coo at MOCA’s Nest.” It’s a site-specific artwork that’s a mesmerizing and magical work of contemporary minimalism at its finest.
Bell’s artwork comprises a series of cubes within cubes in a plaza that sits between a handful of skyscrapers, reflecting layers of light and creating an optical illusion where the viewer appears trapped inside an inner cube. The surrounding world is reflected in a red tint.
