Here is a mural that I would never have found on my own. It's in a rather obstructed location at the front of building used by a branding company called The Kitchen Sink. I read about this mural while researching another mural and so I decided I needed to find this one. You can't see it from the street, so I had to park the car and do some walking to locate it.
The mural is by Berlin-bsed artist Karl Addison and it depicts the architect Frank Henry. Henry was a Phoenix architect who was a member of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and created some beautiful buildings in and around Phoenix. One of them is an all-time favorite of mine that I featured a few years ago. It's the midcentury modern Chase Bank located not far from where I live now. I love the mural and I'm glad I found it.
I remember the banks since it is so unusual, Sharon! I like that mural too!
ReplyDeleteI always liked the looks of that bank. The mural is unusual and well done.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that this mural is in such an inaccessible place, but I am certainly happy that Sherlock Sharon found it for us to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI just checked out the bank link and I agree that it is a beautiful and unique bank. I love the design. The mural here is very impressive, I like it. I notice the tree's leaves make it seem like a hairdo on top of his head. :) Nice job locating it Sharon.
ReplyDeleteI loved that bank too. Nice photo of the mural.
ReplyDeleteI like it too, the artist is very clever.
ReplyDeleteIt's really well drawn and painted and a great tribute!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful mural, well located under that tree.
ReplyDeleteWith the greenery above the head it looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great mural, and well worth searching out. I can see why you like that bank building, too! What an unusual and beautiful structure -- very FLW.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite eye catching.
