Los Angeles, March 4, 2025 – Imagine an art installation that spans the entire city. KEVANI, Inc., a leader in out-of-home media development, along with Public Digital Art Fund, is doing just that – transforming Los Angeles and Baltimore into an open-air gallery by partnering with celebrated visual artist Julian Opie. Starting March 4, Opie’s instantly recognizable walking and running figures rendered as static and moving paintings on LED screen, will be showcased publicly across KEVANI’s premium displays around the city.
Opie’s graphic language—concise silhouettes, fluid movement, and distilled essence—finds new context within the urban landscape. His characters walk, sprint, and exist in the in-between, dissolving into the rhythm of the metropolis. From Downtown Los Angeles to West Hollywood, and all the way to Baltimore—art becomes part of the city's architecture. This ambitious installation also runs concurrently with the artist’s solo exhibition at Lisson Gallery New York, on view through April 19, 2025.
In collaboration with Public Digital Art Fund, this project reimagines what public art can be – an open dialogue, a shared experience, and a bridge between the physical and digital worlds. For over a decade, PDAF has been at the forefront of integrating contemporary digital art into public spaces, creating new points of intersection between art, technology, and society. This initiative is not just an exhibition but an invitation. A moment where art steps outside the confines of white walls, meeting its audience in motion, in transit, and in the pulse of everyday life.
Award winning innovators in the media industry, KEVANI prioritizes initiatives that reflect the culture and character of the communities it serves. Its unique collection of assets act as a canvas for creative campaigns that facilitate connection and bring value to the neighborhoods it inhabits.
