Digital Art on Vinyl

The visual elements in the mural are evocative of theater, restaurants, a festive atmosphere and gathering place of diverse people. The central focus of the art is of a theatrical performer in the spotlight flanked by nighttime and daytime bordered by the open stage curtains. The nighttime side shows restaurant food items and a fork piercing a tomato whose star-shaped leaves mimic the rising stars that not only portray the night sky but also suggest “star performers.” The two figures on the left symbolize community or audience members with hands clapping in applause and/or the dramatic hands of a performer. A performer’s horn blasts a rainbow of color alive with creative energy. On the daytime side, a singer’s melody is transformed into a bird as a song takes flight. A waiter rushes to serve and offers a flower which symbolizes a gift of beauty.  I was commissioned by the Salt Lake City Arts Council.
