A Trip on the Avenue - 791 Corydon Ave. (Historic)

(Artists: Michel Saint Hilaire and Mandy van Leeuwen)

Inspired by  famous artists like Michelangelo, Charles Comfort,  Deirdre Luzwick and mural artist Diego Rivera, this mural  incorporates a taste of the Trompe l’Oeil styles of mural painting with a strong surrealistic style and inspirations of the art deco era.  The mural was created to invoke thought and discussion through a fun and meaningful symbolic nature.  A prairie landscape with fields of spaghetti, a ladle drenched in chocolate syrup over the cake/house.  The bridge, reminiscent of the Archway architecture, the large chrome plated goose flying towards a mechanical sunset.  A psychedelic staircase leads into the opera singer’s large intricate dress and artists are busy with the  life-size  creation of the Italian sculpture.  Around the corner, on Arbuthnot Street, the dynamics of the automobile and  motor parts add an energetic feel.   The old automobile is a powerful feature to this much smaller wall and its chrome grill is actually the entranceway to Penner Auto Body.
