Mural at Gin Alley

Jason was commissioned by Newcastle Limited to design and paint this mural at Gin Alley (in Fulton Market, Chicago). This winding alley has been transformed into an exciting corridor of art, dining, and shopping. Jason's mural is an organic gateway into this reimagined, classic Chicago locale. Completed July 2020.

Artist Statement
”My mural at Gin Alley explores the translucent nature of leaves, the transcendent quality of flowers, and the phenomenon of heliotropism where plants naturally seek out and grow towards sunlight. In this work of art, I interpret growing botanical form as a mythical ladder to a luminous, otherworldly realm, with swirling vines reaching upwards and drifting off into the ether. In addition, I aim to draw passersby into Gin Alley through an organic gateway with tendrils extending out of the alley onto the facade of the surrounding buildings on Peoria.”
