Artbarks Murals - Mojive dance club mural







	Mojive. Dance and jive mural. December 2007. Mojive Southampton. Hampshire. 15' x 50' For the re-opening of Mojive I was commissioned to paint a huge mural for the dance and jive club. This large scale mural had to be vibrant and stylish with plenty of energy. The mural runs the entire width of the club and with the scale of the massive painted dancers it makes a large visual statement as the dancers enter the club. The colours in this mural were designed to change with the various light effects including the ultra violet spectrum. Go to next mural.

			The moving light effects create a constantly changing mural.



With me covered in paint you can see the scale of this dance club mural.


Close up showing the u.v. background.	Looking over the seats this mural really brightens the club up.


The mural is painted on the back wall and the middle section was painted onto canvas at a later date to incorporate a projector.


The colour changes under uv lighting.	Charleston. The dancers are a homage to the American artist Ty wilson.

Painting Stage three. Starts to take shape with the colours being layered.


Painting Stage four. Figures start to appear and the background is finished.
