A Abstract View Of American Greats

The street art also known as a mural I have chosen is a colorful

abstract painting of the great american treasure known as Mount Rushmore
done by a underground Jamaican street artist that goes by Kobra in the city
name Los Angeles. This mural signifies the independence of our amazing
country by displaying our Presidents, also the attention to detail and the focus of
shading around the mural is magnificent and especially the beautiful colors in
the paintings just shows abstract street art, and the main reason why it was
display there. Although there may be some people that may disagree with the
template being displayed in this mural. I counter that argument with it shows so
much pride for our country you can not argue against it.

This mural does shows off the most american mountain ever made
in our history of these United States of America. These were great men who
were our presidents throughout the hundreds and hundreds of years and now
they are displayed as an abstract art piece. All of the Presidents still have their
wonderful features and the mountain is still its original piece. The way it is
being presented makes you think of America and all the Presidents that help
and shape our beautiful country that we live in today and it is being done in a
very unique way. To conclude this paragraph, the mural does its job by
representing our home country pride by using a historic mountain, Mount
Rushmore and doing it justice and executing just perfect that everyone can
agree this is patriotic.

The way this mural was drawn in Los Angeles in a street wall has
literally the most detail to color and shading and great attention to it. This is an

abstract painting, so this has perfect lines all around it and in the mountain. Just
with your first sight of this painting you can obviously see the mind bending
pattern of colors and how they were painted on too this canvas. The variety of
colors is enormous just a crazy amount of colors inside the mountain and out
the painting. In an article from My Modern Met it says Kobra who is highly
known for doing this type of art using wild colors and photo realism. The
conclusion of this paragraph is that the point is made the painting perfectly uses
colors and detailed shading and is being shown off in a great way for the city.

The great american landmark known as Mount Rushmore was the

absolute best choice for a mural for Independence day and that is why it was
chosen for this painting and too be display. This mural was presented just in
time for the great day of Independence day just a couple days before it, it was
display in Los Angeles and everyone agreed this choice was the best. It was
such a unique choice and much pride was shown and the display was huge
everyone can see it from far away and just feel the american pride it displays.
An article name Lost At E Minor says the artist wanted to do this for the
special day that we celebrate America. The best Presidents are on here George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln and
they left a huge impact, so they were perfect too be sculpted and now shown in
a new reimagination in a way only a talented artist from the streets can pull of.
I conclude this paragraph that this mural came together for the pride of
Independence day and allow the Mount Rushmore to be redesign for the joy of
art and for patriotic pride.

To conclude this essay all about this mural that features the
legendary Mount Rushmore the amazing street artist that goes by Kobra did the
most amazing job on painting this magnificent, colorful, and very patriotic mural
in the great city of Los Angeles on a great day Independence Day. You can
just take a look for yourself and gaze at it and have your own opinion and
have over one hundred words to describe this art masterpiece. This painting will
stay up for the future years to display our nations greats and marvelous
mountain. With my personal thoughts i do believe this is a work of art and
done in a original way and makes me feel patriotic and makes me feel proud
to be an American.
