Quilt Pavement Painting

As part of Lilly Day of Service 2017, five artists worked with Big Car to design a mural for service volunteers to paint. At the intersection of Garfield Drive and Ringgold Ave at the entrance of Garfield Park, “Quilt” was designed by artist Chris Tower. He was inspired by quilt squares featuring geometric elements.

Chris Tower is a 2-D artist in Indianapolis. He often uses acrylic paint, ink, and charcoal on paper or canvas. He leans into abstraction but always starts with a foundation in the figure or a literal element. He loves color and texture and includes them liberally in his work.
