Streets: ESPO Love Letter to Brooklyn
Philadelphia artist Stephen Powers (ESPO) and his team have been putting the finishing touches on “Love Letter to Brooklyn” they painted on a Macy’s parking garage in downtown Brooklyn.
The project was partially designed by Powers before it was painted and evolved with feedback from the community, including long-time Brooklyn resident David Villorente. The painted lines were inspired by conversations he and his team had with people passing by the parking garage : “Turn to me”, “I see eternity” “Onward, upward,” “I was nurtured here,” “Born busy as a Brooklyn bound B” and “Euphoria, Is you for me?”
Some pics of the work in progress:
Steve Powers has additional upcoming projects in downtown Brooklyn, so watch this space.
