16 - Steelyard Mural

Artist Ivan Toth Depeña painted his mural on the concrete Steelyard parking garage facade facing the Rail Trail at 1910 South Boulevard.

“The initial proposal concept was deeply rooted in my painting series “Matter”. It stems from a process which I loosely refer to as “Hybrid Paintings”, based on the various media and production methods used to create them. The series explores the spatial qualities of painting and drawing using topography, transparency, density of light/color, and layering to achieve work that utilizes chance and intention to create an encapsulated multiverse of compositions. When experiencing the work as a whole, you are introduced to the clear inspiration I get from natural phenomena and when taking a closer look a much more complex set of micro-compositions or “mini worlds” are revealed.”
