Payne / Bialosky Architects

2015 - 2016

I was asked to create a piece for Bialosky Architects’ new space in Cleveland's Midtown neighborhood, located at 6555 Carnegie Avenue. The work was created as a mixed media print on wood (acrylic, tempera, spray paint, and screen printing), installed as a digital wrap.

The goal was to pay homage to the neighborhood with a street art flavor - inspired by its textures, colors, and imagery. Bialosky requested a piece that would make a bold statement yet complement the overall simple and clean aesthetic of their new space.

I created a multi-layered mixed media piece on wood - combining screen printing, acrylic, and spray paint. Original piece measured 18”x24”.
