This “Harmonious Elements” print is based on the mural I just finished in New Orleans at the edge of the French Quarter in advance of my “Warning Signs” show at Mortal Machine Gallery. The print and mural celebrate art and music as therapeutic creative endeavors that bring some harmony to the challenging chaos of the world. I incorporated some local NOLA jazz musicians like Charlie Gabriel and Walter Harris who frequently perform at Preservation Hall as a nod to the profound contributions New Orleans has made to the American musical landscape. The image also features a woman, who could represent any of us, looking hopefully into the future despite the challenges literally and metaphorically tearing at her. To her left is a lotus, a symbol of resilience and beauty which grows from the mud. There are a limited number of prints of this mural image available at Mortal Machine Gallery which will benefit victims of the New Year’s terror attack in New Orleans. A portion of proceeds from the “Harmonious Elements” print sold on Obey Giant will also benefit the Greater New Orleans Foundation.
