The Dancer

Painted by local artist Katie Steward, though the vibrantly-colored piece can certainly be said to brighten up the intersection of Divisadero and Oak, it also has a dark side to it, as it depicts a disfigured dancer in an attempt to capture how dancing can feel to the performer rather than the audience. "While the subject matter is a little dark," Steward told us, "I think the bright colors and shapes make it feel bold and energetic while still having a dark undertone."
