Using parking lot vernacular (white stripes / blue handicap),
the lot was painted with simple shapes to minimize the dark space
and accentuate the architecture. Clear shapes of color are a relief
from the gray. The 3D painting gives direction and center to the space
and diminishes the formidable structure.
The white gloss circles take a bite out of the
columns and make a series of receding moon shapes. The green ovals
act as a graphic landscape to blend with the few trees that surround
the site. The 12' tall blue slots create openings in the columns and
reinforce the 65th Street corridor. The painted shapes give direction
and center to the space. As you move through the space the painting
becomes sculpture.
