SHANE O’DONNELL: NEON + RUST
January 24 – April 11, 2026
Opening Reception: Saturday, Jan 24, 6 – 9pm
Artist Talk: March 7, 1 – 3pm
A South Bay photographer turned painter, Shane O’Donnell brings his passion for Americana to Neon + Rust, a showcase of his recent canvases exploring vintage neon signs and their aging patina. What began as a personal challenge to elevate with paint what he captured with his camera, O’Donnell has committed to documenting historic neon signage, along with the building facades that support them, in a distinctive photorealism-inspired style. The result is a body of work that portrays their decaying beauty with remarkable precision and a fresh perspective that merits a closer look.
Shane O’Donnell is a professional advertising and editorial photographer based in Los Angeles. He was born in Wisconsin and studied photojournalism at the University of Missouri, Columbia. This is his first solo painting exhibition.
