Alma Fogo - Mural
Hand Painted Lettering Mural
"Here & There" explores the spatial nature of the challenge presented: to paint a three-dimensional lettering with an optical illusion.
The painting's support consists of two canvases positioned perpendicularly to each other. When viewed from a particular vantage point, they reveal the illusion. Only from one point will the perspectives and volumes be readable, thus emphasizing the importance of the 'here' and the 'now' — "HERE".
However, there are always other ways to see and interpret. We are never solely focused on what is exactly in front of us at any given moment. By changing perspective, reflecting on the past, or trying to anticipate the future, we can discover new meanings. As the artwork can also be appreciated in other, more abstract forms, the 'after' and the 'there' emerge — "THERE".
The literal intersection of these two words serves as the motif and theme of the painting.
