LOS ANGELES — Where Koreatown and Silver Lake meet Historic Filipinotown — beyond a construction site and a tent city and behind a thick metal gate — lies a Shangri-La, the 22,000-square-foot studio of the husband and wife artists Jonas Wood and Shio Kusaka. Mr. Wood, 41, a Massachusetts-born painter known for bucolic David Hockneyesque still-life interiors and abstract depictions of sport, and Ms. Kusaka, 46, a Japanese master of porcelain ceramics, bought this space a year ago. Inside, they have dedicated most of the space to their extensive art collection, including nearly three dozen ceramic pieces by Magdalena Suarez Frimkess and Michael Frimkess. [More]
