A strangely a-peeling face in Little Italy!

Yes, a play on words!

This mural in Little Italy, whose paint is gradually peeling away, is strangely appealing to my eye. The beautifully conceived face has obtained more texture–and beneath the blue and violet painted color there’s a layer that appears in hue like natural skin.

  1. thank you for that mural information and your impressions. I walk by this every day, and have had similar thoughts, appreciating the wabi-sabi. Also noticed other LI mural posts here, but how about the Grant Pecoff Little Italy Sign mural on wall of Vici apartments parking entrance? I bought his original oil of this mural recently at ArtWalk. Love your email posts, felt it time to thank you!
