There are many gray cities in the world, but not enough artists see them as the blank canvas with a lot of potential that they are.
A great example of how these buildings can be transformed can be seen in Detroit. A local artist, Louise Jones, is painting floral murals on boring buildings, improving the overall look of the city. She’s also painted on buildings all over the world, from New York to Shanghai.
“Flowers are a vehicle for me to explore color and shapes. They remind me so much of my own body — they’re very feminine,” Jones says. “I consider myself to be feminine but haven’t always felt that way. As I get older, I’ve learned to embrace my femininity, and I find myself increasingly drawn to flowers with age.”
