INTERNATIONAL ARTIST R.B. MORRIS III PAINTS ANIMATED MURAL AT DEATH DEFYING HEIGHTS

Latest San Francisco Mural Project Absolutely Huge: First ever Artistic Landmark for R.B. Morris III in San Francisco, Color-Changing, Animated Mural.

Beginning this Thursday, November 7^th, 2013, Bay area-based muralist/artist R.B. Morris III and his paint crew will be giving the 187’ tall, 77’ wide Grain Silo on Pier 92 a complete face-lift.  This 14,993 sq. ft. mural depicting an electric-green Heron in flight, arms wide against a jagged angled background is based on a small geometric pattern designed by Haddad|Drugan out of Seattle, WA.

The artist R.B. Morris III and his three man crew will attempt to repeat the geometric pattern 1,460 separate times in order to cover the 17 story building face, completing a composition reflecting the Bayview neighborhood's past, present, and future.  In what will be the most visible mural in the SF bay area, commuters on both highways 101 and 280, and denizens of the surrounding neighborhoods and hilltops will all see the humungous bold design added to the skyline. At night colored lights will cycle through the colors red, green, and blue, on both the façade and the adjacent silos.  Every night the lighting schedule will vary, so that the art will be dynamic and always changing its appearance.  The lights will cause the mural imagery to change its appearance with changing light colors.  As the light colors shift, images will appear to float in and out of the scene.  This striking effect will result in the appearance of an animated graphic abstractly representing a neighborhood in transformation, Bayview Rising..

Said R.B. Morris III, “The mural is basically three different murals depending on what color is shining on it - we went for a dry run a month ago and the result was breathtaking - better than I could imagine it being. Haddad|Drugan really came up with an amazing concept, and we are so glad to have such an instrumental part in it.”

Morris III was formally trained in the art of “hand-painted advertising” at the world renowned Colossal Media in New York City (colossalmedia.net).  He has completed Mural Projects in Humboldt County, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Monterey, Sacramento, Chicago, New York City, and Portugal.  In Portugal he teamed up with world famous graffiti artist Mr DHEO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeP0_ulHZds.
