SENTRAL - WYNWOOOD, MIAMI
Sentral Wynwood is situated in the heart of Miami’s most art-centric district, a neighborhood where nearly every wall is covered in brightly hued street art. So it was a logical next step to bring even more color right into the community. Sentral commissioned artists Jeremiah Britton and Joe Geis, co-founders and partners of independent creative studio ALSO DEPT. to help transform a rooftop within the apartment community into a brilliant mural inspired by the vibrant local lifestyle that Sentral Wynwood residents and guests know and love. With their dynamic, energetic, and collaborative approach to creating large-scale abstract work, Britton and Geis were a natural choice for this 50’x50’ mural, their largest to date.
As with all commissioned pieces and Sentral Artist collaborations, the artists were encouraged to let their surroundings guide their work, which is titled Here Comes The Wave Again. “The concept of this mural was influenced by Miami — the culture, the people, the motion. Specifically, the motion of palm trees blowing, the motion of the waves,” Geis says. Adds Britton, “We were hearing music in people’s cars and walking by different restaurants, so we wanted to capture that busy buzz in both the color and the motion of the piece, which is kind of like this oversized wave.”
