The Brooklyn local artist is painting the gates at 98 Bushwick Ave
Street artists are continuing to come to Grand Street, this time painting the gates around the L station at 98 Bushwick Avenue. The Grand Street BID has commissioned Chris Jehly through the Grand Street based curation company Owley to paint the gates with a series of 3 murals, the first one is shown above.
Jehly is known for his works that are inspired by his immediate surroundings as he paints. On Grand Street, Jehly says that he would like to capture the beat of the neighborhood, and his first work has reflected that with its vibrance and bright colors.
The artist will continue to work on the gates during the weekends throughout the remainder of the month, bringing new elements with each new mural.
In tandem with the new mural by Don Rimx at 609 Grand Street and the Ellie Balk piece at 772 Grand, the BID has made it a priority to bring world class public art to the neighborhood. Watch Chris paint this weekend, and follow us @grandstreetbid and @ow.ley for live updates on the work.
