“Symphony”, Atlanta’s largest mural to date, transformed a large section of Peachtree Center just in time for Super Bowl 53 in Atlanta. Hopare created this mural to address that our community is a diverse composition that can coexist in harmony and peace. For the portraiture, he references an image of Christophe Chadet, a 20-year-old young man born in Atlanta, Ga. A child of French immigrants, Christophe represents some of the diverse cultures that exist in our community and the celebration of living in an international city like Atlanta.
Hopare(Alexandre Monteiro) is known for his distinctive approach to street art and graffiti, allowing him to connect with pedestrians and virtually transport them with his art. He is notably recognized for developing an interesting blend of figuration and abstraction through which he paints colorful work that dramatically contrasts the appearances of the streets. His murals can be found in prominent cities around the world, such as Paris, Venice and Montreal.
“‘Symphony’ should promote harmony and sharing of the city.”
