Description

Stretched across city walls and along rooftops, Stephen Powers’s colorful large-scale work of art sneak up on you. “Open your eyes / I see the sunrise,” “In case you were here I’d be home,” “Endlessly begins while you say yes.” What in the beginning looks like nothing up to an advertisement becomes something grander and more mysterious—a hand-painted love letter at billboard size. Combining community activism and public art, Powers and his team of sign mechanics collaborate with a neighborhood’s residents to create visual jingles— sincere and regularly poignant affirmations and confessions that reflect the collective hopes and dreams of the host community. A Love Letter to the City gathers the artist’s powerful public art project for the primary time, including work of art at the walls and rooftops of Brooklyn and Syracuse, New York; Philadelphia; Dublin and Belfast, Ireland; São Paolo, Brazil, and Johannesburg, South Africa.
