Parking lots are often-overlooked part of our daily routine, seen as a jumping off point for the day or a transitory space. Despite its bland reputation, international art duo Craig Redman and Karl Maier see the parking lot as another opportunity to show their colorful perspective.
Craig and Karl said, “the objective of the project was to breathe new life into the space which, having been rendered in concrete with little inlet of natural light, felt quite dark and heavy.” The eye-popping paint job of “72DP” negates the boundary between wall and floor and instead treats the whole environment as one giant canvas. It resulted into an explosion of colors with geometric shapes making their way out of the driveway.
