CCC's Street Art Contest-Edition 201
This is my entry for CCC's Street Art Contest Edition 201.
Howard is the 2nd busiest train platform in Chicago, Illinois and this mural is easily viewed from there while waiting for a train.
The artist is Sick Fischer (Chicago) and it is located at 1615 W. Howard St. It was completed in 2015.
The mural is titled 'Big Fruit' and I wonder if the artist had thoughts of the NYC slogan The Big Apple in mind.
Description:
From the very beginning, the mural’s intention was to radiate themes of ‘life’, ‘growth’ and ‘bright future’. The over-saturated aquamarine leaves and large red fruit are meant to evoke feelings of fertile soil. The very name of the mural, “Big Fruit”, is a play on the names given to other towns or cities. As if to say, “Howard Street, Land of the Big Fruit”, where people can settle, grow and happily sustain. Fischer also thought that the bold, lively color scheme would cut through the drearier winter days as commuters waited on the 2nd busiest train platform in the city.

Seriously Mel, these pictures are really cool and definitely eye-catching to anyone passing by. I like how they brighten up the train platform and bring a lively vibe to the area as well
It's always fun to find street art to share!
Such a cool work 😎
It so stands out.
Have an awesome new week!
You are the master at finding the coolest street art! Hope your week is wonderful, too.
Thank you so much 😊
It started well… still trying to get the garden to a better state hahaha lots to do.
Very cool mural and love how it covers a lot of that building. It's great how it's viewable from a public train station so it can get many views.
There is many in Omaha and I need to find time to capture some. Been a bit exhausted, busy and other lifey stuff going on. Take care 😊
I hope you can make time to go on a photo adventure! I understand about life getting in the way though.
Howard Station, Land of the Big Fruit 😂🤣😂 cool mural. That tagline would get me interested in moving there but not sure if it will draw in the masses
Hahaha! It could be interpreted many ways!
It's beautiful. Funny, even the door was painted.
I'm sure it really brightens up the view from the train on a snowy winter day!
You took some really beautiful pictures of the paintings. I really enjoyed it ❤

Hello @melinda010100
What a beautiful mural, without a doubt the artist took into account the city's slogan.
