A Striking New Installation Adds Bold Color For Travelers
LOS ANGELES , Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Everyday Transcendence, a striking new hand-painted mural by renowned California-based abstract artist Allison Kunath, is now on display in the newly renovated portion of Terminal 4 at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The piece, which spans a remarkable 3,400 square feet across three connecting walls, is set to captivate travelers with its thought-provoking design and dynamic palette of more than 60 colors.
"LAX is excited to welcome passengers to Terminal 4 with Allison Kunath's awe-inspiring mural. Her distinctive mark-making and vibrant color palette foster contemplation and connectivity, encouraging us to engage with our surroundings in a more meaningful way," said Sarah Cifarelli, LAX Art Program Director. "Everyday Transcendence not only enhances the passenger experience at LAX, it also contributes to our city's rich tapestry of murals, cementing LA's identity as a hub for creativity and artistic expression."
Everyday Transcendence invites travelers to pause and experience a moment of reflection amidst their busy journeys. With its intricate geometric forms and rich color composition, the installation draws attention to the beauty often overlooked in everyday life. Created over the course of 750 work hours, the installation stands as both a visual masterpiece and a reminder of the power of pause in our fast-paced world.
"Having worked on many large-scale commercial and public projects throughout my career, collaborating with the LAX Art Program was a dream opportunity to create a memorable moment in such an iconic location. The massive scale (and extensive palette) required a great deal of organization and planning, and the installation would not have been possible without the support of my installation team and the LAX Art Program staff," said Allison Kunath
As a member of the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs' roster of pre-approved artists, Kunath was selected to design what is now the largest mural on display at LAX. Her global reach is expanded by this contribution to one of the world's busiest airports, while simultaneously underscoring her connection to the vibrant contemporary art scene of Southern California.
Known for her crisp, geometric murals, and blind contour portraits, Kunath's work explores themes of connection, relationships, and human psychology. Her work often reflects quiet, internal experiences - creating a stark juxtaposition when expressed at monumental scales. In addition to her work for The City of Los Angeles, she has been commissioned for large scale works by The City of Palo Alto and The University of California (Irvine). She has also been commissioned by many prestigious private organizations in the industries of design, hospitality and commercial real estate, including The Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Tishman Speyer, and Starbucks.
