Project DescriptionArtist Robert Delgado will design and paint a mural on a 5’ h x 12’ w wall in the renovated Woodcrest Library. He engaged the Woodcrest community with a “Show and Tell” presentation of his work at the Library’s grand opening and photographed youth in the audience. He will use those images to design a dynamic composition of familiar faces from the community. According to Delgado, his photographic images are “broken down into line drawings and juxtaposed and superimposed so that the design becomes a thoughtful puzzle that provokes imagination and creativity in the viewer.” The project is schedule to be completed in 2010. About the ArtistRobert Delgado has completed public art projects across the country since the 1980s. His distinct style is translated in many media: acrylic painted mural on canvas; airbrush over photo-silkscreen on ceramic tile; murals on fiberglass mesh; and mosaic. Delgado received his MFA at UCLA and is based in Los Angeles. |
