September 2019 - Toronto ON
The latest mural animating our cityscape was unveiled this month on the side of a Green P parking garage at 20 Charles Street East, just south of Yonge and Bloor. The 5 storey work from German artist Justus Becker adds visual interest to a previously blank wall, while celebrating Toronto and Frankfurt, Germany, one of our sister cities.
Becker worked alongside local artists Alexander Bacon, Quentin Rockford, Christina Mazzulla, and Kyla Buium. The mural features Frankfurt and Toronto cityscapes appearing in the reflection of a pair of glasses, illustrating the twinned status the cities have shared for the past 30 years.
It is an interesting mural and I think the artist is trying to say something, but I am not sure he succeeds.
