About

Mike Nesbit is a Los Angeles based artist whose work operates between sculpture, painting, architecture, and landscape, using construction not as a subject but as a method of painting in space.

Materials and processes drawn directly from building, concrete, formwork, excavation, and demolition, are treated as painterly tools, where surfaces are cast, cut, and assembled through acts of construction rather than representation.

Paintings are embedded, buried, or translated into structure; sculptures emerge from the same processes that shape the built environment. Time, weather, and gravity act as collaborators, allowing the work to shift between control and contingency.

The practice operates as a continuous material system in which painting, architecture, and landscape are not separate disciplines, but extensions of the same process—where construction becomes both medium and method.

Nesbit is co-founder of Maple St. Construct, an exhibition platform that extends this approach through site-responsive projects at the intersection of art, architecture, and landscape.
