This piece of original artwork comes ready to hang.
"Through this we hold steadfast
when our challenge was to turn fate
not to be victorious
that possibility evaporated
we did not
we endure
together and often alone
for all of us
for tomorrow
and yesterday
and for what could've been
and isnt
and for what is
and might well be
and lest we forget
each of us
and us
and memory
and failing
and standing
when standing was all there was."
Opening at Murals In The Market 2017,
Eddie Colla returns to Detroit with his latest immersive exhibition
Enumeration.
Featuring more 100 pieces, the exhibition occupied the entire second
floor of 1xRUN's Murals In The Market Headquarters in Detroit's Eastern
Market. In addition to dozens of new works, Colla has also created a
complimentary on site installation featuring hundreds of individual lights
hanging above and behind each piece, as well as a custom soundtrack
created specifically for installation by Daniel Vuletich. See more at

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Eddie Colla attended the School of Visual Arts in New York and graduated from the California College of Arts with a BFA in photography/interdisciplinary fine arts in 1991. He began his artistic career as a photographer, working first for the New York Times and later countless magazines, record labels and ad agencies. 15 years later he has morphed into one who counters the all-pervasive nature of commercialism in public spaces.
Since 2005, his wheatpastes and stencils can be found throughout public spaces in the Bay Area, Los Angeles and Miami. Eddie's work first began to garner national recognition when his street art began incorporating images of Barack Obama throughout the 2008 Presidential election. His growing popularity landed him attention on internet blogs, features in six published books, and participation in the "Manifest Hope Art Gallery" shows at the 2008 Democratic National Convention and at the Presidential Inauguration in Washington D.C. His designs have been transformed many times over, from stickers, album and magazine covers.
