This mural, painted on the exterior wall of an espresso bar, expresses the cool, chic brand identity of the establishment while also providing signage and a subtle means for visitors to find the entrances. The design is inspired by the building’s 70-year history as a jewelry store, with the building itself dating back to the 1850s. Color blocks and linework are reminiscent of gem cutting, with diamondlike prisms spanning the width of the building facade.

Nick Smith is an Indianapolis-based (but widely traveled) artist specializing in urban abstraction.  He is color-blind, and dedicates all his works to his brother Sean, who is autistic.
