Currents Mural by John Pugh
John Pugh creates large public trompe l’oeil murals that are meant to look like realistic scenes. In a personal artist statement, John says that:
Public art is of great interest to me; providing me with a sense of purpose as it is a very powerful form of communication. It can link people together, stimulate a sense of pride within the community, and introduce the viewer to new ideas and perspectives.
The mural below shows a couple of uniformed police officers interacting with two different sets of individuals.
Here is what the side of the building looked like before John installed his mural. It was a very drab and boring gray brick wall with some very unimpressive landscaping placed in front of it.
