King’s Auto Mural

30ft x 9ft | Exterior Wall Mural | November 2023 | 1039 N West St, Raleigh, NC

Located near the Skate Park, right off of Capital Blvd, this once white wall was transformed into a geometric circuit of shapes and colors. Following my mural at Sk8Park Raleigh and seeing how my design activated the space, Kings Auto approached me about transforming their once overlooked space into a destination and memorable moment for Raleigh commuters on Capital Blvd.

Inspired by the movement happening daily around this wall, the design draws energy from the commuters on Capital Blvd. and the skaters across the street at Sk8Park Raleigh. The large central circle represents the layers movement taking place as individuals transition from their urgent, mundane, and orderly commute (right, on the captial blvd. side) to the playful, spontanious, and expressive energy taking place at the skate park (left, on the skatepark side).

Colors are pulled from the surrounding environment as nature and industrial elements merge into one.

The blue sky, green grass and yellow sun, that inspire grounded natural energy are equaly balance by the blue highway signs, green street signs, and yellow speed limit signs as neccessary elements of order, structure, and control in modern society and highway navigation. Purple, uniting the color pallet with hues of calming creativity, becomes a bridge between these two opposing yet inevitably linked entities (grounding playfulness and orderly movement).

Thank you Kings Auto for this beautiful white wall and for trusting my vision to bring it to life. I am excited for the memorable moments that this wall will inspire as a once overlooked space is now energized with bright colors and a thought provoking design.
