On Plywood, Over Window Murals, Artist: @Coping Artist and Friends, San Jose, California
|
|
|

From a distance these plywood sheets appeared freshly painted. But up close, one could see lots of scratches and gouges to the surface. The next sheet of plywood covering a window said, "Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks," in assorted colors. Two long lashed eyes and a hand appeared to gesture at the words. Art was painted on plywood that covered the ground floor windows of a building in downtown San Jose, California. The plywood covered windows, perhaps to hide an empty space behind. The last piece of plywood art over glass contained three blocks and a flag with two stars.

The first mural, on the leftmost window, displayed a sofa with a lamp hung over it. The last window displayed a counter with a laptop computer on it. Three comfortable stools stood around the counter. An artistic lamp hung over the counter. The third window displayed a cable car on a table alongside one half full and another 3/4 full cup. A mobile high over the table, and a potted plant was next to the table. The fifth window displayed a work of art on a cupcake-style table. Three cushions allowed folks to sit and admire the art. Behind it all was a painting of a multi-paned window.

The mural was painted on the side of a large parking garage. It depicted a dancer, clouds, a flying bird, and grass. A cloud, painted alongside a vent, gave the impression that the clouds were being ejected by the vent. A closer view of the dancer, whose face wore a Covid mask. Her arms were curved and her outfit swirled around her. The artist signature was painted in the lower right of the mural.
