Curiot Mural

Description

Founded in 2016, the Nashville Walls Project has brought over fifteen artists to Nashville, providing them with the opportunity to leave their mark on the growing city. Originally a one-time event sponsored by Gibson Custom Division, event-turned-project was started by Eva Boros and Brian Greif (1960-). This segmented mural by Mexican artist Curiot, born Favio Martinez (1982-), decorates the east side of the Cornerstone Building. This work of public art integrates images from Mexican folklore with bright colors and futuristic forms. Funded as a part of the Nashville Walls Project, this mural provides an engaging addition to Nashville's street art scene. This work of art represents the diversification that has sprung up in the rapidly expanding Metro Nashville area. It conforms to and enhances the pre-existing brick facade of the Cornerstone, reinterpreting each enclave as a space for art.
