An unlikely artist at a Hollywood body shop channels the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian with a functional mosaic that keeps the needles out of the driveway.
The first thing I noticed about the art piece near the corner of Fountain and Western avenues south of Hollywood was the color.
I decided I wanted to meet the auto body mechanic who saw the sky with such an artistic eye. So I knocked on the door.Michael Yeghish, 43, of Glendale had never heard of Mondrian, and aside from taking a pottery class in Armenia, he didn’t have any formal training as an artist.He named his body shop EndZon because lots of other businesses were already named “end zone.” And he built the piece because he wanted to erect a fence after finding some needles and trash in his driveway.
“I’m not — I don’t know any artist. But I just thought, to make a nice picture, you have to have in your vision nice colors. As long as the colors come together,” Yeghish said. As we spoke it became clear that art is just something he enjoys, not something he thinks about. He described a vision of a painting he wanted to do with paint splatters, but he had never heard of Jackson Pollock. His favorite art piece is a painting of a cat that hangs in his home — it came with the house, and he doesn’t know the artist. But the colors are incredible, he said.
