Braysmith mural at the Civic Center
|
A 60-by-12-foot mural of historical Evansville buildings created by Eric Braysmith, University of Southern Indiana lecturer in liberal arts, now hangs in the Civic Center in an area between the Mayor’s Office and the Council Chambers. Painted with oils and alkyds, fast-drying oils, on polyester canvas, the three-paneled piece features Evansville buildings, including USI. The mural was originally commissioned in the early 1990s by the Kmart Corporation for its Super K on Evansville’s east side. When the store closed in the spring, Braysmith decided to donate the untitled piece to the community. “It really works quite perfectly, because it’s a painting of the buildings and things that make the community unique,” Braysmith said. “It’s such an honor to have it there.” |
