Primavera

2003 191st Street (1) New York City Transit

When the artist, Raúl Colón visited the Washington Heights community around 191 St Station, he saw a diverse neighborhood, filled with children. Colón’s response was a ceramic mosaic of a soaring couple dancing in an idyllic landscape and two faceted glass windows of children at play. In describing his thought process, Colón said that he wanted something that would be uplifting. He was inspired by the imagery and symbolism of early Renaissance murals, especially those of Piero della Francesca, recognized for their serenity and clarity. According to Colón, "The couple represented dancing is ethnically diverse, because it is a mixed neighborhood. It particularly represents the Hispanic and Latino culture.”
