Insane | Eyes on the Streets

below: Two sides of the Hanover Theatre in central Worcester Massachusetts have large murals on them. On the left, a woman’s portrait by Damien Mitchell; on the right, a couple touch foreheads, by Insane 51.

2 murals on the Hanover theatre in Worcester, both very large, a white woman's portrait by Damien Mitchell, blue eyes and reddish purple lips on one side, and a blue and red mural by insane 51 on another side

below: A closer look at the woman.

below: Like much of Insane 51’s work, this mural has been painted in shades of blue and red. One colour, blue, is used for the visible outer part of the body while the skeleton underneath is painted in red.

below: Two filters have been installed at approximately eye level across the parking lot from the mural. When the mural is viewed with a blue filter, this is what you see…. (with a few reflections of another building I’m afraid). The red elements disappear.
