Street Art and Parkettes

Newstalgia
1 Centre St. - view at Talbot & Sunset
The mural is epic, 85 feet high, adding depth & beauty to one of the concrete piers of the St. Thomas Elevated Park in the Kettle Creek valley.
The design is a reimagining of the dynamics between Audrey Hepburn & Gary Cooper in the classic film, ‘Love in the Afternoon’, and ultimately is a meditation on the need to transcend nostalgia & move forward … nostalgia is composed of two Greek words — ‘nostos’, which translates as ‘to return home’, and ‘algos’, which means ‘pain’.
Denial has titled the mural ‘Newstalgia’, forwarding the idea of embracing the future & moving away from that specific type of pain that only comes from trying to live in the past.
