This mural is found on International Blvd. and 23rd Avenue. It is sponsored by the
Eastside Cultural Center and fronts the Sam Jinn Building next door. The mural celebrates black history through its African roots. It's a powerful image that projects pride and strength. I looked for and googled for the artists' names but did not find any information. Hopefully, a reader will fill us in. This mural and others on the building are relatively new. I'll show a partner mural next week.

It looks like it's depicting some mythical characters. I love the blueness and almost monotone feel of this mural.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a group of tribal mask I saw in a museum once. Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteIt is strikingly beautiful in blue. Love the mask on the right.
ReplyDeleteThose shades of blue used are very effective- bringing it to life and evoking a night time scene. Very creative.
ReplyDeletestrong colours there add to its impact.
ReplyDeleteAn impressive piece of art. Its blue enters the soul. Please have a good start into the new week.

It's amazing what a skilled artist can do with three colours. Blue, white and black.
ReplyDeleteI really like the monochrome feel of this one. It somehow makes the image even stronger and bolder. A really nice find!
ReplyDeleteReally lovely mural. I love the blue colours and the tribal theme.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting!
Nice find and a powerful image shown in your capture.
ReplyDeleteGreat find, I really like that it has all the blue tones!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, as always.
Bold and beautiful. I see the chief, the shaman and the warrior in these masks; perhaps they are the archetypal symbols of the healer, the leader and the protector of the African male psyche. Unfortnately I've not had a moment to blog since last week, so I don't have a mural for you this week. But I'm glad I saw this one.
ReplyDeleteGreat one .Especially the use of blue in the painting.
ReplyDeleteFabulous. It is really well done!
ReplyDeleteIt really is powerful. Love the color scheme, it would be fun to learn about the artist - hopefully someone does get back to you.
ReplyDeleteThis is a special one, Carolyn. Doing it in blue is powerful.
ReplyDeleteGreat mural! And great shot too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing;o)
