Anatomy of a Moment

Category: Digital Art ; Mural

This work was created by the artists looking inward and working with reduced resources due to the COVID-19 quarantines in spring/summer 2020. Distancing from others and washing hands frequently made the artists aware of many tasks that were once freely executed by hands without much thought: Uniting, shaking, patting, holding, cleaning, pointing, receiving, handing, playing, balancing, thanking, reaching, hanging, caring, etc. Hands have gone from being a supporting role to a protagonist position in the ways we interact with and experience the world. The lead artist, Artur Silva, photographed his friends’ hands performing various actions, as well as screenshots of films highlighting the role of hands in telling a story. He and the apprentice artist, Shaunte Lewis, drew from this source material when creating black-and-white and colored drawings of hands. The work was created collaboratively, with designs exchanged via email and assembled in digital space by Silva prior to being printed on vinyl and installed. This is the first digitally-created artwork in the Jiffy Lube mural program. Artur Silva is a Brazilian-born artist currently living in Indianapolis and South Bend, Indiana. His practice consists in manipulating images collected from all facets of the media and from original photographs, reproducing them on canvas or combining them in digital prints, wall installations and videos, transforming and appropriating them to convey a particular set of ideas. He is a visiting assistant professor at Indiana University South Bend and an adjunct instructor at the Herron School of Art, IUPUI. Shaunte Lewis is an Indianapolis-area artist and illustrator. Her work explores the relationship between feminism and the arts while incorporating bright colors and clean lines. She is particularly captivated by the endless facets and abstractness of her Black culture. Anatomy of a Moment was created through a partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis. The partnership is an opportunity to showcase local artists, beautify commercial corridors with original public art murals, and encourage viewers through positive images while expressing the goals of Jiffy Lube’s programming: Growing People Through Work.

Bee Mindful: They are Important

Category: Mural

Given the opportunity to paint whatever she liked on the wall of this Jiffy Lube store, the artist chose to depict the importance of bees and their drastic drop in population because of herbicides, pesticides, deforestation, and urbanization. When bees are gone, everything in the world, including humans, will cease to exist. True to her style, the artist depicted an illusion of the wall breaking open to reveal a honeycomb, with several bees in various states of maturity flying out from it. The final “bee” is a baby in a bee costume holding a heart balloon, to indicate the importance of bees to human life. The bees appear to be flying towards a giant sunflower, with a world globe in its center. Although not apparent to the casual viewer, the artist also added several details that ground the mural in the time (summer 2019) and place it was painted and reflect her personal concerns. A careful look at the globe in the sunflower reveals red and orange areas in the depiction of South America, to indicate fires in the Amazon rainforest that were in the news at the time. There is also a tiny hurricane in the Caribbean–indicating Hurricane Dorian, which was just forming at the time and was projected to be one of the most devastating hurricanes in recent memory–and a dot indicating Indianapolis. The baby was created to be of an indeterminate race, and the pattern in the wings of the baby’s bee costume is reminiscent of the chain link fences that controversially characterize conditions in immigrant holding camps along the U.S.’s southern border, also in the news while the mural was being created. All together, they reveal an artist who is passionately devoted to the health of the world and moved by crises that are damaging to humanity. Pamela Bliss is an Indianapolis-based artist specializing in large-scale, photorealistic murals. Bee Mindful… was created through a partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis.

Behind the Curtain

Category: Mural

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Throughout history, powerful and influential places have used art and architecture to evoke an emotional, often fearful response from their guests: “This place looks expensive and important.” Meanwhile, on the world stage, we often see that behind the “curtain” of this impressive facade there is actually just one man who is pulling the levers, using the great influence of public opinion to facilitate his own personal goals. In this mural, shedding light on the unseen, is a large, blue ibis bird, who is pulling back the curtain for us all to see the truth. In ancient Egypt the god of truth and wisdom, Thoth, is represented as a man with a human body and the head of an Ibis. The word “Truth” was derived from his name, and he is said to have been the creator of both mathematics and written language. The real ibis lives in wet marshland and uses its beak to find food in the unpromising mud below the water–accordingly, the Egyptians believed that Thoth created physical matter from the ethereal, bringing into being the world they loved from the base mud of nothingness. Here we have the ibis pulling back the curtain, exposing the truth that fear (represented by the grand beasts) is an illusion, nothing but a construct upheld by the unseen. This mural represents the search for truth, and once the truth is revealed, rebuilding a positive future. Carl Leck is a well-known and popular Indianapolis-based muralist. He is known for his stunning visual effects and clever themes. Behind the Curtain was created through a partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis.

Boitata: The Fire Snake

Category: Mural

“Boitatá”is a Brazilian myth symbolized by a snake of fire or light. The snake is said to bring light into a dark world, and is a sign of protection or hidden treasures. The artists of the mural were inspired by the thriving international culture that surrounds the Jiffy Lube location, and intended to celebrate the diverse and dynamic community through the mural’s vibrant colors. Blend Creative Minds (Rafael Caro, Laura Neely, and Erica Parker) is a team of Indianapolis-based artists who specialize in public murals. Boitata: The Fire Snake was created through a partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis. The partnership is an opportunity to showcase local artists, beautify commercial corridors with original public art murals, and encourage viewers through positive images while expressing the goals of Jiffy Lube’s programming: Growing People Through Work.

Breathe

Category: Mural

Indiana artist Justin Cooper pays tribute to Carmel-born artist and illustrator Franklin Booth (1874-1948) in the design for this mural. Both Cooper and Booth were determined to become artists at a very young age, and both focus on figures and extreme detail in their work. Those who helped create the mural hope that you will take a moment to breathe while experiencing the beauty of this mural. Booth was a celebrated commercial artist during his time, contributing to popular magazines and product advertisements. His signature style derived from copying the technique of wood engravings using pen and ink. This project is a partnership between Jiffy Lube and Department of Public Words (DPWords). It is an opportunity to showcase local artist’s designs, beautify the communities with original public art murals and encourage viewers through positive words and images while expressing the goals of both DPWords (positive words empowering people) and Jiffy Lube’s programming: Growing People Through Work. Many volunteers have contributed to the creation of this mural during community celebration paint days. (photo courtesy of Megan Jefferson)

Developing

Category: Mural

From the beginning, the Developing mural concept was a collaborative effort. Stemming from the desire for a mural that paid tribute to Brownsburg history, the design emerged from discussions with project partners about including references synonymous with Brownsburg, including it’s architectural history, and even the little league baseball team and their accomplishments in the World Series. During the discussions, one word that kept resurfacing was the word, “developing.” Brownsburg was physically developing, meaning some historic buildings were being replaced with modern construction. As one can imagine, many residents took issue with the demolition of the iconic buildings, thus the desire to pay homage to these beloved landmarks. All these factors were considered, leading to the word “developing” taking on a slightly different meaning when applied to generating the mural’s design. Having attended art school before the digital age, photography was still taught in the darkroom, the artist, Barb Stahl, can vividly remember being in the darkroom and experiencing the excitement each time a new image would come into focus. The mural, meant to look like a page from a photo album, features a photographer in his darkroom, developing an array of photos that depict scenes from Brownsburg history. The mural also includes 3D sculptural elements meant to mimic the rings in a binder-style photo album. Barb Stahl is an accomplished muralist and fine artist based in Indianapolis. Developing was created through a partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis. The partnership is an opportunity to showcase local artists, beautify commercial corridors with original public art murals, and encourage viewers through positive images while expressing the goals of Jiffy Lube’s programming: Growing People Through Work.

Eye 2 Eye

Category: Mural

Eye 2 Eye depicts the early moments of what could become a meaningful friendship for two new and very different acquaintances. The soft and fluffy, curious cat and the hard and angular machine, both creatures of the street, examine each other closely, recognizing one thing they have in common: green eyes. The mural is a metaphor for everyone being able to find commonalities with each other, even if they are from different worlds. Dan Handskillz is a commercial artist, muralist, street artist, illustrator, and graphic designer working in Indianapolis. Growing up near this site, his love for art began by reading graffiti magazines, watching “Style Wars,” and learning from his friends. He was drawn to the medium by the community and social aspects that surround it–but he admits he was “just a kid who loved comics and graffiti” and started doing graffiti art in his first crew while still in high school. A graduate of Herron School of Art + Design, IUPUI, Dan began by studying painting and eventually switched to general fine art. He and his old high-school crew eventually went into business together and worked as a team on commissioned graffiti-style murals from 2010-2019 under the name Fantastic Aerosol Brothers (FAB) Crew. Dan was also instrumental in organizing the annual Subsurface graffiti jam, which ran from 2002-2015. Currently a freelance illustrator, Dan continues to create commissioned murals, and has worked for clients as varied as the Indiana Pacers, IndyGo, Red Bull, Subaru, Uber, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This mural was created in 2021 as part of the Jiffy Lube Murals, a collaboration between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis.

Gummy Bears

Category: Mural

This whimsical mural, inspired by a visit to Wolf Cave in McCormick’s Creek State Park, depicts three “sweet” bears emerging from their winter hibernation. Created in a trompe-l’oeil (“fool the eye”) technique, the mural provides a perfect 3D illusion when seen from the right vantage point. Carl Leck is an Indianapolis-based painter and muralist with numerous murals around Indianapolis and central Indiana. Gummy Bears was created through a partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis. The partnership is an opportunity to showcase local artists, beautify commercial corridors with original public art murals, and encourage viewers through positive images while expressing the goals of Jiffy Lube’s programming: Growing People Through Work.

Harmony (mural)

Category: Mural

The design for this mural is a metaphor for bringing differences together in harmony to produce something beautiful. The various colors represent diversity of people, philosophies, and ideas coming together in a harmonious way to create things that have never existed before. The flowers represent the beautiful growth that comes from existing in harmony despite our differences. Broad Ripple has a reputation for being socially, economically, and ethnically diverse, which makes it a perfect location for this mural. The mural was painted by community volunteers on several public paint days. The project that created Harmony is a partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the artist collective Department of Public Words. The artist, Ethan Culleton, is based in Indianapolis and at the time of the mural’s installation was a teaching artist at the nearby Indianapolis Art Center. The partnership showcases local artists, beautifies communities with original public art, encourages viewers through positive words and images, and expresses Jiffy Lube’s commitment to “Growing People Through Work.”

Hope

Category: Mural

The theme of this mural is hope, with fun bright colors and bold lettering reflecting positivity. It is an uplifting message that says there will always be hope in our city, and someone willing to guide you in the direction of the positive light. The women represent diversity and coming together for a greater purpose. One of the women is releasing a butterfly as a reminder that there is always room for transformation and growth. The rainbow is a universal representation of hope, pride, and following your dreams. The heart represents a wide range of cultures and the cardinal bird above the “E” is not only the state bird, but also represents the loving relationships we can build with our community when we come together for a greater purpose. Beech Grove has a strong sense of community and this mural represents what makes the city a place where hope is possible. The mural was painted in 2022 as part of the Jiffy Lube Murals series, created in partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Indy Arts Council. Shaunt’e Lewis is a self-taught, full-time artist living in Fishers, Indiana. Her bold, colorful work landed her on the front page of the New York Times’ art section in March 2021, and she has been featured in many local and regional publications. Primarily a digital and studio artist, she has completed several commissioned murals, including one in 2020 as an apprentice artist with Artur Silva for Jiffy Lube’s 151st St. location in Westfield, IN. Her work has been exhibited at West Elm, and is the heart of a new merchandise collection created by Meijer. Shaunt’e’s work centers around self-identity, Black culture, and femininity.

Idyllic Sunset Pulse

Category: Mural

The design for this mural was co-created by former Jiffy Lube artist Megan Jefferson and students in Avon High School’s prestigious National Art Honor Society. Inspired to coordinate with Megan’s existing “sunrise” mural on the west face of the building, this “sunset” scene on the building’s east face incorporates Megan’s signature dramatic landscape approach with silhouettes of cornstalks marching across the central Indiana landscape, with a flock of birds flying overhead. The mural was painted by the students under Megan’s direction and supervision. Megan Jefferson is a painter and has been actively creating work since 1998. She has exhibited extensively and sells her work to designers and individual patrons. She describes the process of her work in this way: “I let the process define the artwork and describe my working process as a dance and conversation. I place down some color, and as certain areas and shapes evolve I will “answer” those happenings with additive or subtractive methods. This dance continues until each painting feels right. The result is thoughtful, intuitive, spontaneous and reflective.” Most of Jefferson’s work is landscape painting. Idyllic Sunset Pulse was created through a partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis. The partnership is an opportunity to showcase local artists, beautify commercial corridors with original public art murals, and encourage viewers through positive images while expressing the goals of Jiffy Lube’s programming: Growing People Through Work.

In a Hundred Billion Galaxies

Category: Mural

The title of this mural, which shows three astronauts enjoying a bit of otherworldly skateboarding, comes from a quote from author and scientist Carl Sagan’s book Cosmos: “Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.” The artist featured her signature character, Bean the Astronaut, doing an activity that she wishes she could do but cannot. This is typical of her work–Bean (named after astronaut and artist Alan Bean, who was part of the crew of the Apollo 12 mission and was the 4th person to walk on the moon) is multi-talented and adventurous, providing inspiration for anyone who sees him in the many street murals around town. The skateboarding theme was suggested by the location of the mural in Broad Ripple Village, known for its youth culture and skateboarding activity. Joy Hernandez is an aerosol and acrylic artist and muralist, originally from Kewanee, Illinois, but currently based out of Indianapolis, Her work can be found at the Full Circle Nine Gallery, a gallery she founded and owns inside the Circle City Industrial Complex, near downtown Indianapolis. With a background in animation, television news, and journalism, Hernandez has created a colorful artistic world focusing on bright colors, subject matter that makes her happy or grabs her attention, and an appreciation of science fiction, pop culture, comic art, and cartooning. The mural was painted in 2021 as part of the Jiffy Lube Murals series, created in partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis.

In Bloom

Category: Mural

This mural highlights how crucial positive energy is, both as an internal force each person generates and wears like armor, and as an external force to share with others and connect with the world. Different people generate positive energy in different ways, some of which are shown here. Everyone faces differing, and often poignant, challenges in finding their light and sharing it: to be better community members and neighbors we need to understand these challenges and help each other through mutual respect and understanding. Nekoda Witsken is the artist behind Hue Murals, where she passionately specializes in indoor and outdoor large-scale murals for public and private projects. Tying community engagement, sense of place, and cohesive branding into her custom works is key to her artistic practice. Hue Murals’ goal is to create projects with our clients that help us all rise “a shade above” – a little brighter, and a lot more united. This mural was created in 2021 as part of the Jiffy Lube Mural Project, a partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis.

Indivinity

Category: Mural

From the artist, William Denton Ray: “‘Indivinity’ is a word I created by combining three other words: “individuality,” “divine,” and “infinity.” I kept referring to these words as I thought about the design of the mural. This mural consists of very graphic and geometric shapes that were combined to make up a stylized portrait. The face appears to be made of several components and seems to be in a constant state of evolution. Every shape is essential in defining the face, and the only constant is change.” William Denton Ray is an accomplished muralist, graphic designer, and fine artist based in Indianapolis. He was particularly excited to create this mural near his own neighborhood. Indivinity was created through a partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis. The partnership is an opportunity to showcase local artists, beautify commercial corridors with original public art murals, and encourage viewers through positive images while expressing the goals of Jiffy Lube’s programming: Growing People Through Work.

Interwoven

Category: Mural

Interwoven is a metaphor for the energy of movement. It is inspired by the American social fabric, textiles, and the multicultural diversity of the community surrounding 56th and Georgetown Rd. Textiles are often used as a form of expression and a way to share stories and history. Movement is seen in the creation of textiles as the shuttle moves the thread back and forth across the loom through the action of weaving. Movement is also present in the changing natural and built landscape, and the movement of people. The mural was created to express the interconnected nature of community and provide a moment of joy for visitors and neighbors. Shamira Wilson Young is an Indianapolis-based painter, woodworker, and furniture maker. Interwoven was created through a partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis. The partnership is an opportunity to showcase local artists, beautify commercial corridors with original public art murals, and encourage viewers through positive images while expressing the goals of Jiffy Lube’s programming: Growing People Through Work.

Marbles / You Have Company

Category: Mural

The message “You Have Company” on this mural refers to the often-invisible challenge of mental illness, which seems isolating to those suffering from mental health issues. Simply knowing that others are similarly challenged can help people cope successfully. Seattle-based cartoonist Ellen Forney, herself diagnosed with bipolar disorder, based the mural design on elements of her 2012 graphic-nonfiction memoir Marbles: Mania, Depression, Michelangelo, and Me, where she finds inspiration from the lives and work of other artists and writers who suffered from mood disorders. The mural was laid out and supervised by the local Indianapolis public art team Department of Public Words, and portions of the mural were painted by community participants. This mural, and the sale of green ribbons at participating Jiffy Lube locations throughout Indiana, supports the Indiana state chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and their work to build better lives for those affected by mental illness.

Our Waterways

Category: Mural

Our Waterways is a tribute to nearby Fall Creek and the rich and varied life that it sustains. Blue herons, banded water snakes, and dragonflies are combined with abstracted wave and sun patterns and a kayak-and-paddle motif to create appreciation in viewers of the valuable asset that runs literally through their backyards. The waterway is an important part of the ecosystem we all share, and a reminder that in this part of Indiana, we are all in a watershed. Christina Hollering is an Indianapolis-based artist, inspired in equal measure by science fiction and the natural world. In her work she offers the viewer fantastical abstracted landscapes based on semi-recognizable objects and images, in homage to the transcendental moments in life when the ordinary suddenly becomes something more. Although most of her work is elaborately cut paper, this was her first painted mural. Our Waterways was created through a partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis. The partnership is an opportunity to showcase local artists, beautify commercial corridors with original public art murals, and encourage viewers through positive images while expressing the goals of Jiffy Lube’s programming: Growing People Through Work.

Rural Rhythm

Category: Mural

The city of Avon, Indiana, is quickly being developed but there are still farm fields and wide open spaces. The artist of Rural Rhythm, Megan Jefferson, is attracted to painting those wide open spaces – particularly Midwest landscapes – because she grew up in a small farming community in Northwest Ohio. Skies there are big, colorful fields are everywhere, and the land is flat so you can see for miles. The first time she visited Avon, the site of the mural, she was reminded of the rural landscape of her hometown. To create this mural she drove the back roads, feeling nostalgic and took photos of her favorite beautiful vistas. This mural is inspired by one of those photographs and its goal is to acknowledge, preserve, and celebrate the rural beauty that still exists in the town (and in the artist’s heart). Megan Jefferson is a painter and has been actively creating work since receiving her BFA from Miami University in 1998. She has exhibited extensively and sells her work to designers and individual patrons. She describes the process of her work in this way: “I let the process define the artwork and describe my working process as a dance and conversation. I place down some color, and as certain areas and shapes evolve I will “answer” those happenings with additive or subtractive methods. This dance continues until each painting feels right. The result is thoughtful, intuitive, spontaneous and reflective.” Most of Jefferson’s work is landscape painting. Rural Rhythm was created through a partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis. The partnership is an opportunity to showcase local artists, beautify commercial corridors with original public art murals, and encourage viewers through positive images while expressing the goals of Jiffy Lube’s programming: Growing People Through Work.

Safe Passage

Category: Mural

Safe Passage is the expression of a metaphor for the world: a collection of random figures, some human and some animal, on an epic journey in an unknown direction with only each other to rely on. The yellow-toned and sparkling paint in the sky indicates that the scene is taking place in some mythical landscape, much as the shimmering gold tile backgrounds of Byzantine church mosaics were understood to indicate the heavenly realm. The figures include historical people George Washington and George Washington Carver (visual puns relating to the mural’s location on East Washington Street), a nun, a giraffe, a polar bear, a crowned cat, bunnies, and a child in a red hat–some of which recur in the artist’s other mural and easel work–and indicate the varied nature of the life that is bound together on our planet. The scene wraps around the corner of the building to enliven its front facade. The artist, Kyle Ragsdale, is a native of New Mexico but has lived in Indianapolis since 1992. In addition to being a popular mural artist and frequent exhibitor both locally and regionally, he is the curator of the galleries at the Harrison Center where his studio is located. Ragsdale has won numerous local awards, including a Creative Renewal Arts Fellowship from the Arts Council of Indianapolis and a Stutz studio residency. He says: “My work is a collection of symbols. Figures, birds, flowers, and foliage function like text to trigger response and connections. In these paintings I invite viewers to make their own interpretations and connections with the visual clues in the images. Like moments in time, memories and dreams, the figures and images serve as starters for dialogue with the viewer.” Safe Passage was created through a partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis. The partnership is an opportunity to showcase local artists, beautify commercial corridors with original public art murals, and encourage viewers through positive images while expressing the goals of Jiffy Lube’s programming: Growing People Through Work.

Taking the Bait

Category: Mural

This shimmery iridescent winged creature, with its unique natural beauty, is confronted with a sweet morsel. Despite its unfamiliarity with this strange manufactured worm, the bird is nonetheless tempted by the bait. Is it a trap? Most definitely. Carl Leck is an Indianapolis-based painter and muralist. His trompe-l’oeil (“fool the eye”) technique can be seen on numerous murals around town. Taking the Bait was created through a partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis. The partnership is an opportunity to showcase local artists, beautify commercial corridors with original public art murals, and encourage viewers through positive images while expressing the goals of Jiffy Lube’s programming: Growing People Through Work.

Three Kings

Category: Mural

The three figures in the mural represent the fact that this Jiffy Lube location was the third one opened in Indiana, nearly thirty years ago. The idea of “kings” was developed by the mural’s artists, a team of one master artist and two apprentices. In the African American community, friends often refer to each other as “kings” and “queens” in order to convey appreciation, pride, and support. As a mentorship project, the love and support is directed towards the new artists who deserve to have the confidence and stature of a king. A “king” is also graffiti slang for a highly accomplished writer: all three of the artists who created this mural have street art backgrounds. Each artist created a figure. The leftmost figure, a street-art-style “black Indian,” was created by Jamahl Crouch. The center figure, an abstracted character with both Native American and space-age qualities, was created by Ish Nieves, the master artist. The right-hand figure, a more representational African king riding on a rhinoceros, was created by Matthew Cooper. Together, the three kings represent the artists themselves, each painted in their signature styles. As a final nod to the Jiffy Lube mural initiative, the bright blue feathers in the rhinoceros’ mouth are meant to represent the bird in the mural across town that was painted in 2018 by Carl Leck: in the tradition of friendly rivalry (and actual admiration) between street artists, the rhinoceros has eaten Leck’s bird for lunch! Three Kings was created through a partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis. The partnership is an opportunity to showcase local artists, beautify commercial corridors with original public art murals, and encourage viewers through positive images while expressing the goals of Jiffy Lube’s programming: Growing People Through Work.

Tropical Wabash

Category: Mural

The purple coneflower (echinacea purpurea) is a coarse, rough-hairy, herbaceous perennial that is native to moist prairies, meadows and open woods of the central to southeastern United States.” It is native to Indiana and can be found naturalized in both wild or rural settings as well as cultivated in formal gardens. As such, it is a unilateral shared specimen that is part of the floral environment throughout the region, for rural and urban as well as all economic levels. Craig Martin is a practicing artist, illustrator, muralist, and actor living in Lafayette, Indiana. Tropical Wabash was created through a partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis.
