Orlando Bloom With Artist Sam Falls
Bloom (right) has been collecting Falls’ work since January 2012, when he visited the Art Los Angeles Contemporary at the Barker Hangar and gravitated toward a photo of tires, laden with thick circles of paint depicting the same tires. He bought it on the spot, explaining: “I like cars, bikes — it’s a boy thing. It was speaking to that side of me.” Later, Bloom met Falls’ wife, Erin Falls, a director of the Hannah Hoffman gallery (which represents the artist), at a dinner party, and began learning about Sam’s work.
