A woman from behind looks at the landscape, her eyes at a lighthouse on the horizon. By day it is a window on an idyllic and relaxing scenery, by night it lights up in blue, revealing all its mysterious side. It’s called Grounder and it’s the mural that Onur made in Chicago.
The artwork covers an area of 350 square meters, which is the entire outer wall of the 24th floor of the Hyatt Center in Chicago.
Grounded, realized in collaboration with the curatorial team, Beauty & Brawn, producers of some of the most famous and emblematic murals of the city. The technique used by Onur is the one that distinguishes him from his other colleagues, that is, the one that involves the use of a roller and acrylic color.
In a big city like Chicago, where nightlife is almost the same as daytime, thinking of a mural visible at any time of day opens up new artistic possibilities for the future.
