Greek's on 16th murals

Mural

 1601 Columbia Avenue, Indianapolis, IN, 46202

The murals on the interior of this local business were commissioned by Greek’s Pizza to enhance the interior space.

The stenciled decoration on the front of the order counter is by Indianapolis-based artist Jamie Locke, who has created the popular Angel Wings murals around town and a similar mandala mural along the Monon Trail. Carved detailing in white interacts with a rainbow of colors that radiate from the counter’s center top.  Locke’s inspiration for her mandalas (a Sanskrit word meaning “circle”) is the concept of wholeness, where the intricate designs are metaphors for the organizational structure of existence–complex, interconnected, and repeating.  For Locke, creating a mandala is about “non-attachment,” simply existing in a state of peace and harmony.

The street-art style composition in the dining area was painted by Carmel-based artist Gavin Goode of SemperFly Studios.  The mural shows a seated robot (balanced on a real piece of wood embedded into wall) with its leg crossed, wearing earbuds and working a phone screen.  Goode, a Marine veteran, is an actor as well as a muralist, graphic designer, sculptor, and illustrator.  His work is inspired by popular culture and design trends of the past, present, and future as well as his own extensive imagination.
