A Fresh Perspective on Los Angeles

As a newcomer to Los Angeles, Cresswell found inspiration in the city’s blend of familiarity and alien oddity. His fascination with American cultural themes, from suburban life to the Wild West, is evident in ‘Prospex Park’. The project began serendipitously with a visit to the iconic Canter’s Deli, sparking the creation of the first series, “Diner Dates”. This collection features AI-generated portraits of diners from an imagined past, or perhaps a speculative future, reflecting the artist’s intriguing perspective as an outsider.

AI: The Perfect Medium for Exploration

Cresswell’s exploration of Los Angeles through AI art is more than a creative experiment; it’s a way to process and integrate into his new environment. “AI always struck me as the perfect medium for this,” he explains. “Like me, the AI is an outsider trying to make sense of a world that’s familiar to everyone else.”

As the Executive Creative Director at Alkemy X, a global creative studio, Cresswell is no stranger to pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms. His curiosity and willingness to embrace new tools have led to the creation of ‘Prospex Park’, a collection that vividly captures the eclectic spirit of Los Angeles through an alternate retro-futuristic lens.

Capturing the Essence of LA

‘Prospex Park’ is a series of AI-generated portraits that delve into the essence of Los Angeles. Each piece is a testament to Cresswell’s ability to merge his British roots with his newfound American experiences. The collection offers a fresh, imaginative take on the city’s unique characters and landscapes, as seen through the eyes of someone both familiar and new to its cultural tapestry.

Cresswell’s work in ‘Prospex Park’ is not just about art; it’s about the intersection of culture, technology, and personal experience. His portraits, infused with a 70s aesthetic, provide a nostalgic yet futuristic view of Los Angeles, inviting viewers to see the city in a new light.
