LA River Photography by Fred Kaplan art opening.

Los Angeles, CA — LA Artcore is pleased to present Los Angeles: Meditations on the Edge, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles–based artist Fred Kaplan, on view January 23–25, 2026, with an opening reception on January 24 from 5–7 PM.

Rooted in a lifelong relationship with the city, Kaplan’s work traces its origins to the edge of the Los Angeles River, where chain-link fences once restricted human interaction with water and land alike. From these margins, Kaplan began photographing the city’s overlooked thresholds— sites where radically engineered urban infrastructures meet the persistent, organic forms of nature.

I hope you can join me at the opening of this photography exhibit in Little Tokyo at the LA Artcore Gallery. Fred is a good friend. In addition to excellent photos of the LA River, I strongly encourage to you watch his 27th minute film, The River Under the City of the Angels: https://youtu.be/tomT0VK9kQM?si=DhSQ-XludG08Zv_3
