Artist: Angelina Villalobos Soto
Statement: If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.” -Bruce Lee
This dragon represents the determined spirit of The Pacific Northwest. Painting a mural solo requires perseverance and belief in yourself. This quote by Seattle hero Bruce Lee is my motto when self-doubt starts to rear its head. This dragon enters the Arena glowing with power and assurance, representing the determined, energetic spirit of the Pacific Northwest. Its lush colors honor our region’s seasons, and the flowing shapes of the surrounding tilework are reflected in the dragon’s coiling body.
Location: Amazon Music Lounge – LL4 Event Level
Date: October 2021
Artist: Moses Sun
Statement: Rare Form: vol. 1 is a tribute to the energy music brings to the soul. Moses Sun’s musical influences are as varied as the lines and colors of his painting. Sun drew his visual inspiration from handwritten sheet music, oscilloscopes, and live performances by his favorite artists. His painting soundtrack includes classical compositions by Erik Satie, the blues of Robert Johnson, the gospel of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, to Big Sean’s, Detroit 2, to name but a few. Rare Form: vol 1 is the first of a series of works about the musical diasporas of the world.
Location: WaFd Bank Club – LL2 Main Concourse
Date: December 2022
Artist: Stefan Frei
Statement: This work depicts an abstract representation of the “Emergence of the Kraken”. A vintage early 1900s map of Seattle juxtaposes the vibrant, geometric waters approaching the city. A path out of the mysterious depths of the ocean signals the imminent arrival of the Kraken.
Location: Loading Dock – LL4 Event Level
Date: December 2022
Artist: DVS Crew – Sam Sneke and Kris Hamper
Statement: This take on Seattle has been a collaboration with Amazon and Climate Pledge Arena to convey Seattle’s long history with nature and music, as well as classic Seattle sports teams.
Sneke and Hews have been painting together for 28 years and are considered by some as the illest crew in Seattle’s long graffiti history.
