VIDEO: Surrealism on Detroit Avenue in Lakewood
Largest mural gallery in the world?
Drive past the Beck Center for the Arts at the West end of Lakewood and you’ve no doubt noticed the super-sized surrealistic mural by Montreal-based Russian artist Natasha Turovsky that’s been hanging for the past year or so. You might have also noticed their cool new hi-tech signage.
Don’t look now, but Beck Cafe owner and international art dealer Paul Sykes is doubling down, and has installed another Turovsky mural, this one, called Night at the Opera, twice as big, a full 34 feet wide by 17 feet high. Sykes thinks it’s probably the largest hanging mural in the state of Ohio. Maybe we should call the Guinness Book: with two massive murals, does the Beck Center have the world’s largest outdoor mural museum?
Watch this video interview with Paul Sykes as he talks about violinist and artist Natasha Turovsky’s visit to Cleveland to attend the opening of her work at The Beck Center for the Arts on Thu 10/13, with a reception from 6-9PM. BeckCenter.org. More info: Trvlart.com.
