Slab Face Of Concrete Color

 Before                                              After

Inspired by the mural art at http://arrestedmotion.com/2012/03/london-largest-mural-by-agents-of-change/ , Streets: London’s largest mural by Agents of Change. I liked the creative use of vibrant colors and the number of insets and outsets. Unlike the mural in London I chose to use actual images instead of modern art but the use of colors and scale were my inspiration.  I chose the large flat wall because it offered a challenge to get my image to wrap the offset wall. I chose an image of a bouquet of flowers as the mural because Mesa College has a lack of color. I feel this mural turns a simple grey wall into a brilliantly colored piece of art. -Chris Boyer

  2. A nice add of color to an otherwise dreary building! Nice picture and placement. Also a good idea to use flowers which add a natural beauty to the wall. Thanks Chris.

  4. The image of the flowers adds a nice touch of color to this rather drab building. Looking at this image on the building will make someone's day a pleasant one. Good use of vanishing point.

  6. That is a really nice, colorful image the will counteract the dull drabness of the grey concrete. I'm really impressed that you were able to get the image to "fold" so well/--John Zeller

  8. I think the bright colors in your image do a great job of reflecting the influence of the Agents of Change Mural.

  9. Great use of vibrant colors. The image is well-scaled to the structure. For some reason there seems to be, for lack of a better word, a "thickness" to the paint layer. Might just be my eyes playing tricks on me.

  12. I love the colors, the flowers, and the lay out. This is a beautiful mural. I have a few colorful flower tattoos and this is something I would absolutely get as another tattoo.
