Mural Mondays
A Little La Jolla Color…Too…
…follow up from last Mural Monday’s post and continue to add some lively color to your Valentine’s Day. This is another public art mural project in La Jolla. See this “Behind the Scenes” link to see why this one is different from last Monday’s in that it required audience participation to create it. The mural is randomly “colored” by 9,000 tiles based on the question, “What is your favorite color?” as people pass by. Read more about the artistic result (photo below) of those randomly chosen tiles. Read more about Roy McMakin’s creative process and how this mural promotes interaction with the community.
A Little La Jolla Color…
…to lively up your cold, wintry days and my blog colors. La Jolla, CA is undergoing a resurgence in public art murals, mostly based on color. Here’s a great time-lapse of how this was achieved with a little Girl from Ipanema music to cheer up your day. on Kim MacConnel – Timelapse from Rebecca Joelson
Trompe l’Oeil too
I’ve been posting about murals on every Monday for a while now and I’ve seen a lot of trompe l’oeil but there were a couple here on Web Urbanist that I had not seen before that I thought were interesting. Like these. They are pretty phenomenal and wild. This ceiling mural of trompe l’oeil putti is a classic, however, by Andrea Mantegna and the other ceiling is by Vasari and Zuccari in the Florence Duomo and the bottom, I sadly cannot remember from my Art History days. This is wonderful, modern trompe l’oeil mural work by William Cochran, who I’ve written about before. I was lucky to take a workshop…
