Mural Installation

After several years of discussion and research, Street Level Studio is pleased to announce that we just completed a mural project on the outside of our building in Highwood, IL. We are very excited about the finished piece as it makes a once drab exterior wall come to life by honoring one of Highwood’s finest artists, Emilio “Babe” Galassini. His family was kind enough to allow us to use this piece, which is one of our favorites. We reproduced this whimsical and colorful oil painting of fruit and flora, which includes actual fruit stickers, leaves, nuts, berries, and even a real bee. We originally searched for a mural artist to reproduce the work in paint, but given that we are a graphic design company and have a client who manufactures large format printing equipment, we chose to have it digitally reproduced. The printed wall mural material was literally melted onto the surface of the building with a heat gun. Color Direct Inc., out of Milwaukee, secured the technology for us, printed the entire project on nine separate panels and did the installation. It is our hope that this larger than life painting by a revered local artist will inspire the community and serve to remind us of the rich cultural history that defines Highwood as a unique and special town.
