The artist used the pre-existing concrete structure at The Rock Flat at White River and painted it three separate colors to resemble three Lego blocks locked together.  This whimsical intervention is intended to remind us that the process of community growth should be a creative and colorful endeavor.

This artwork was created as part of Indy Art & Seek, a 2019-2020 joint project of the Arts Council of Indianapolis and Keep Indianapolis Beautiful funded by the Lilly Endowment’s Strengthening Indianapolis through Arts & Cultural Innovation grant program. Most installations created as part of Indy Art & Seek were temporary until the end of 2020, but Indy Parks agreed to keep this piece on view if the artist maintained it.

An Indianapolis-based stencil artist and designer, Charles Shane (C.S.) Stanley has used spray paints in his creative process since 2011, and recently expanded into sculpture and brand design.  His passion for developing a clever perspective on a subject and executing the idea as a design has allowed him to also branch out into art direction.  In 2017, Stanley was voted Best Local Visual 3-D artist in NUVO’s Best of Indy list for his forced perspective artwork, along with his hand-case and painted line of collectibles.  He has continued to exhibit his work locally and in street art venues across the globe.
