British-born (but longtime Angeleno) artist David Hockney died last week, but he forever captured the spirit of Los Angeles in his work and left an indelible mark on the city. From his regular gallery shows at the L.A. Louver to retrospectives at LACMA to set designs for the L.A. Opera to his influence on films like Steve Martin’s Shopgirl, his bold colors pop up everywhere. Honor his spirit and go see some local art, hop in a turquoise pool, or take a hike up Nichols Canyon!
Music picks from Licorice Pizza for the week include electropop duo Sylvan Esso’s four-night run at Sid The Cat Auditorium starting Monday, and singer-songwriter Em Beihold is at the Troubadour.
Tuesday’s a good night for ‘90s rock fans of various kinds, with Metric, Broken Social Scene and Stars at the Greek Theatre, while Our Lady Peace with the Verve Pipe are at the Belasco. Piano legend Bruce Hornsby will also be playing his first of two shows at the Troubadour.
On Wednesday, Glinda herself, Ariana Grande, is at the Forum (she’ll also be there over the weekend), and Thursday, there’s digicore star Jane Remover at the Fonda, alt R&B artist Choker at the El Rey and viral one-man band ZEP at the Echo — he'll be there Saturday too.

California’s art scene was put on the map with the “Light and Space” movement of the 1960s and '70s, with artists like James Turrell, Robert Irwin and others who reimagined art for the West Coast. David Zwirner Gallery’s new show thinks about the movement in a more modern context, bringing in 21st-century artists for a sweeping exhibit. Rodney McMillian, Catherine Opie, Manuel López and a dozen other accomplished West Coast-based artists bring their version of California inspiration to the light-filled space in Melrose Hill until August 1.

Happy Celine-meets-Jesse Day to all those who celebrate. It’s me, hi. The Frida Cinema in Santa Ana is screening the first in Richard Linklater’s trilogy — the 1995 opus Before Sunrise, starring Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke — three times on Tuesday. Honestly, if I lived closer to Santa Ana, I’d probably be there all day and watch it three times.
