Last night I ran into one of the many construction sites in the city, but noticed the walls where painted with a familiar style that I had seen before. While I worked in DUMBO (down under the manhattan bridge overpass), I would see Pasqualina’s murals around the construction sites. It was refreshing seeing art work painted on these usually ugly places. I thought it was very fitting for DUMBO, an art neighborhood. But to see it in Manhattan itself, was even better. I think companies should hire local artists like Pasqualina, to give people something nice to look at other than a dull construction site.

Here’s a video of Pasqualina Azzarello talking about her work and this particular project, which happens to be the site I ran into last night.
