With the assistance of local artist, Sara Mullins of Galleries on the Go, the Club has asked several artists to show off their talents this Summer here at CCC. Each week a different artist will create remarkable sidewalk art on the Terrace.
This week, we are proud to present Live Chalk Art by 'Maestro' Level Artist, Ken Mullen!
Ken Mullen is an award-winning chalk artist, street painter, and muralist from West Palm Beach, FL, USA. Whether working alone, with his children, or as half of 3D chalking duo "Chalk Guys", he has been creating artwork for over 20 years.
Professionally certified as a "Maestro" level chalk artist by the Florida Chalk Artist's Association, Ken has had the privilege of traveling for his artwork, and has performed at festivals and events throughout the United States. He often chooses portraits as his subject matter, enjoying the challenge of capturing recognizable details on often difficult surfaces.
As half of Chalk Guys, along with partner Hector Diaz, Ken is known for creating large 3D images, often with a whimsical or pop culture motif. He enjoys the performance nature of street painting, and loves the crowd reaction when the skewed lines and shapes on the ground transform into a 3D image before their eyes. Ken has passed on his love of art to both of his daughters, and he looks forward to working side-by-side with them for years to come...including this week here at CCC!
Below is a photo of Ken Mullen & his daughters working on their masterpiece.
Come on down to see it for yourself!
Their artwork will be displayed on the Terrace here at CCC through Sunday, June 28th.
