Description

Monumental capitalized letters painted on a concrete viaduct of the graffiti artist's name "Gray". The square concrete forms of the viaduct's construction were used to design the letters which are in a block style, all the same size, and are created by painting the area around the letters in green paint with a roller. Thus, the letters are created by the negative unpainted space.
