Edward Hopper once said, “If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.” Traditionally this has always been a core of many art galleries. In our Santa Cruz collection there a several artwork like “Time-lapse” by Sheila Dunn and Emerson Murray’s figurative abstract paintings.
Street Art & Murals
Any art is a discourse in its own right. What’s more, the conversations seem to flourish more when the artwork is exemplary. Reflecting on the art and murals presented by Santa Cruz Artists will move you to think about the beauty of street art itself. Featured artist Taylor Reinhold leaves a trail of art behind him. His graffiti-inspired art can be viewed not only on the walls of establishments like the Aqua Breeze Inn but also on the walls of the industrial section of Honolulu’s Chinatown.
With vivacious and quirky creations, various artists have made notable impressions on the art scene in Santa Cruz.
