Philadelphia now has more murals than any other U.S. city after it created the Mural Arts Program in 1984. Most are high quality, figurative and convey history and culture. Philly is also home to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts which has probably had an influence upon the figurative focus of most murals there. While visiting a fellow artist and friend at the academy, Harkrader captured this photo of yet another version of urban art. This mural is located a few blocks north of www.pafa.org
Quotes within the mural composition include:
"Where the streets go dark, but they don't sleep."
"When the city is at peace, I need to make noise!!!"
"I am from you, why can't you see?"
