the INDEPENDENT HOTEL MURAL Information / Stories Date: Jun 13, 2008 - 06:47 AM |
 
Kim Senior's most recent commission was to create a mural for a new upscale boutique hotel, to be located at 1234 Locust, in a Georgian-Revival styled building that had been the Inn on Locust.Working with interior designer Robert Moskowitz, Kim developed the image chosen for the mural, which would be located on a four story tall wall above the reception desk. Several ideas were sketched out and discussed, including one for a more historically related image. The client was attracted to more ontemporary, semi-abstract painting of Kim's, which incorporated areas of gold leaf, and vibrant colors. She decided to allude to local history expressed with the name Independent, and so chose the tower of Independence Hall for the source; for a joyous, exuberant, vivid statement that would convey the fresh attitude and excitement of spirit that is happening in Philly now. The mural measures 30ft x 8ft, the mediums are acrylics and composition gold leaf.
