Geometric Color Field Wall Art
Client: Boca Grove Golf and Tennis Club
I just completed this mural for Boca Grove Golf and Tennis Club.
This got inspiration from the works of Eduardo Kobra as requested by the client. Kobra likes to do black and white renderings over bold patterns with some of the pattern showing through the mid-tone areas.
This work was small compared to most of his work so I opted for a smaller, tighter pattern than he usually uses and I decided to make a more subtle and complex pattern than he commonly uses. The pattern also had a 3D, isometric feel to it which kind of ties into my map working style. I started drawing the pattern using a template and a ruler and level to check my work. I quickly switched to just using the ruler and level. It saved time and looked cleaner. The color pattern was very labor intensive and took a while. It was also rather costly in materials. I used Golden brand Mural & Theme paint. I wanted colors out of the container that were as close as possible to the desired color both to save time and have maximum color saturation. I mixed approximately two thirds of the colors.
I later rendered a bee over the pattern on one side and left a large are where a TV will be mounted over the mural.
This was not the only mural in the room and I've added some photos here showing how it all fits together.
