Television seems at times more boring than ever despite the countless choices. Sometimes, for me, it is a commercial that gets my attention. Like the new Cadillac commercials....that whole package is terrific...the music....the street soul...the "that's the way we do it in LA", or Detroit-thing. Outstanding. Especially since Cadillac is on my never-ever list. So imagine my surprise when the current issue of
Vanity Fair includes an article on "Art in the Streets - The West Hollywood Library Murals" presented by, yes, Cadillac. Graffiti artist Retna has created his own symbolic amalgamation of languages....beautiful marks that read as hieroglyphs/old English/middle eastern/centuries-old calligraphy. Meant only to be read visually. That is enough for me! The movement of the paint or ink resembling Sheaffer fountain pens, the ink flowing from translucency to opacity in a single stroke.
Beautiful. Thoughtful. Inky Blue.
