Heaven


Heaven is a skateboard park in downtown Hartford.  Every surface is covered with graffiti street art.


Even walls higher than anyone can reach without a ladder.

Hartford, CT? Great murals. I especially like the dragon.

I like them. I also like how they will go around a genuine painting.

Kate said...

The female figure reminds me of Vermeer's painting of "The Girl With the Pearl Earring."

Some are good and others just tagging which is unfortunate.

Sharon said...

A familiar style. I see a lot of it here. That Vermeer "girl" looks better with the pearl earrings!

Mae Travels said...

In one way it's sad that the graffiti makers have obscured the more conventional mural, but maybe it's better to see it as evolving layered collaborative art?

Kate is right about the similarity to the Vermeer painting to the image in this mural. I also am impressed by the dragon mural.

Michelle said...

I like the girl that is similar to Vermeer's paintings. Some good work here.

Nice with the Vermeer girl.

That dragon is gorgeous, but a bit scary. Those light bulbs had me laughing. Amazing find.

I do like the Vermeer Girl.

There's a song there somewhere - "Heaven is a Skateboard Park"
