About

Mike Nesbit is a Los Angeles–based artist whose work moves between sculpture, painting, architecture, and landscape. Drawing from the material language of construction—concrete, demolition, formwork, and infrastructure—his projects examine how acts of building, cutting, and excavation can function as both sculptural and painterly processes. Many works emerge directly from construction methods. Concrete panels are cast and suspended within architecture, trenches are excavated and filled to produce buried paintings, and existing structures are cut or altered to reveal light, void, and spatial relationships. These interventions often take place within real architectural sites or open landscapes, allowing weather, soil, gravity, and time to participate in shaping the final work. Across installations, landscape interventions, and studio works, Nesbit treats construction not simply as a subject but as a method of painting in space. Concrete surfaces, altered buildings, and infrastructural gestures become a framework through which architecture, landscape, and abstraction converge. Nesbit is also the co-founder of Maple St. Construct, an experimental exhibition platform exploring the intersection of art, architecture, and landscape.
