This piece doesn’t speak to me as it’s just something to draw people into a business, but I do feel it represents my neighborhood. I live right off of Forest Avenue and whenever I think of the street I think of all the shops and restaurants on it. It drew my eye more than the other store art due to the colorful rendition of a landscape. I liked the surreal landscape because of it’s contrast to Forest Avenue. I also liked that it was a simple piece lacking hidden meaning or imagery. Many of the other pieces I walked by were either not as colorful or seemed out of place and not as telling of the neighborhood. By out of place I mean I don’t understand why it’s there, outside of it possibly being to make a statement of some sort. Not understanding the statement, if there is one, I didn’t feel comfortable choosing it. This led me to go for a simpler piece with clear meaning. The art is just here to draw people’s attention to the shop and hopefully bring in business.
