Interior Painting in Roseburg, OR

I have found that the visual “language' of trompe l’ oeil allows me to effectively commu- nicate with a very large audience. People take delight in being visually tricked. Once intrigued by the illusion, the viewer is invited to visually cross into the mural to explore and discover the deeper concept. With a clear intention to create a public art attraction, I strive to design a mural in a way that is not a commonplace mural. Often this includes creating an illusion that is iconic or a dynamic anomaly. The passerby is much more apt to engage with an uncommon ar- chitectural event or phenomenon while he or she unconsciously surveys the urban landscape. Creating a ‘sense of place’ is paramount. It is important for me as an artist, to research the area and its community, formulating concepts based upon a multitude of historical, environmental, and cultural viewpoints. If the mural can serve to educate about the culture and heritage of a place, it will deepen roots, and create a pride of place. Ultimately the goal with the mural is to conjure fresh feelings and perceptions, and evoke a sense of connectivity with the mural, within us, and the world around us.Here is a short resume of John Pugh, including his mural commissions.
