URBAN ROOTS

Minimalist street art painted by artist, Taquen, across the metal security shutter of a jewelry shop

The mural depicts a large, stylized organic peak with intricate line loops detailing its outer layers and roots.

The warm golden-brown tones against the cool, industrial horizontal ribs of the door create deep colour contrast but also, a beautiful tension between the urban surface and the organic painting. It also mimicks the gold or copper chain designs which are the theme of the shop

The work is consistent with other Taquen's pieces known for integrating elements of nature, and fluid geometric line patterns into urban landscapes, an the use of earthy colours
