Latest Public Art Project: "Urban Wilds" Copley Square at intersection of Huntington Ave and Dartmouth St. (between Westin Hotel and Boston Public Library)

A huge thanks to Ashley Adler, my assistant who helped me transport supplies, set up and clean up every day, informed the public about the project, and kept me company. Another thanks to Kevin Rooney, Starbucks on Dartmouth St., Liquitex, The City of Boston, The Boston Art Commission, and the people of Boston for their support of the Arts - These public murals are dedicated to them!

Boston University produced video about the Paintbox program, as well as interviews with Christos Hamawi can be viewed here: BU STUDENT SHOWCASE

This public art project titled "Urban Wilds" is based on an original oil painting I made in 2007, but inspired for Copley Square by the very wildflowers that can be seen growing around the many traffic fixtures in the square.These urban wilds are all around us, growing in places we would least expect and often breaking through 6 inches of concrete. Nature never ceases to amaze me.

I am hoping others will help keep nature thriving by sponsoring the Boston Parks Dept.'s Urban Wilds Initiative. A great program that works to preserve the remaining natural ecosystems found in our great city.

Recent Community Work

"Urban Oasis" 2009

This new "Paintbox Mural" located at the intersection of Mass Ave and Harrison in Boston was done in conjunction with the Boston Art Commission. Local artists are painting murals over those giant gray traffic signal boxes in Boston. It's a great program started by the City to bring more local art to public spaces while improving the appearance of the cityscape. This particular Mural that I painted is titled "Urban Oasis" and is painted from the perspective of lying down in a field of wildflowers and staring up at the moving clouds and blue sky.
