Artist Statement
This mural champions the pedestrian over automotive transit. The colors speak to the multicultural and varied communities that make up Atlanta. Stylistically, the piece works in each artist’s vocabulary, with an emphasis on a flattened picture plane, resulting in a crammed, detailed composition even with simple forms: a surreal piece that depicts monumental figures traversing a landscape of vehicles as a metaphor for Atlanta.
