"Spotlight on Detour: Black Artist Elevates Denver International Airport in 2025 with Stunning $200,000 Installation"

AURORA, Colo. - Oct. 21, 2024 - PRLog -- RealArtLife LLC, a DEI-focused firm dedicated to building social capital through creative projects, fundraising, and public art curation, is thrilled to announce the unveiling of a groundbreaking new installation by international artist Thomas "Detour" Evans. Known for his vibrant murals and global creative contributions, Detour's latest work, "It's Not What You Take, It's What You Bring Back," will be featured at Denver International Airport (DIA).

Detour, who has risen as one of Denver's most promising artists, has a robust portfolio that spans international collaborations with major brands like Netflix, Red Bull, and the NBA. His murals can be found around the world, and he has participated in prestigious artist residencies, including La Napoule in France and Panal 360 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Although based in Denver, Evans frequently travels for inspiration and recently created an acclaimed piece for the 2024 United Nations General Assembly in New York City.

His new installation at DIA is a celebration of life in motion, encapsulating the human experience through travel. Composed entirely of up-cycled luggage donated by Colorado residents, "It's Not What You Take, It's What You Bring Back," is a testament to the personal stories and experiences of travelers. Each piece of luggage in the installation comes with a unique narrative contributed by the donors, making the art deeply personal and interactive.

"The concept behind the piece is to illustrate the items and stories we carry with us throughout our lives," said Evans. "Travel is transformative, and I wanted to create something that honors those journeys, while also celebrating the diverse experiences of people from all walks of life—ranging from astronauts to Tuskegee Airmen."

To celebrate the unveiling of the piece in 2025, Denver International Airport will host a series of public events, where attendees can hear more from Evans about the inspiration behind his work and the process of bringing this vision to life.

Evans is available for interviews to discuss his artistic journey, the creative process behind this unique installation, and his global work in the art world.
