Razzle Dazzle

Follow the lines. Darel Carey’s painted mural turns the outside of Hopscotch Los Angeles into an optical playground, where flat walls seem to ripple and shift.

Start at a distance. Let the pattern gather into a shape, then move closer and follow a single line. Small changes in spacing turn simple marks into something your eyes read as depth and movement.

Razzle Dazzle brings Carey’s exploration of perception to the waterfront at West Harbor in San Pedro. Known for immersive tape installations, the Los Angeles artist works here in paint, giving the building a bold black-and-white rhythm before you even step inside.

About the artist

Los Angeles artist Darel Carey makes repeated lines do unexpected things. Through tape installations, painted murals and digital art, he turns simple patterns into an invitation to look again. At Hopscotch LA, his work appears on the building exterior and in the lounge.
