“IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT WHEN THE LITTLE GIANT WOKE UP TO SEE WHERE DREAMS COME FROM”
by Herakut
“Recent studies have found a strong correlation between downtown revitalization and art, therefore, it definitely seems as if Lexington is moving in the right direction.” —Bricks + Mortar
It’s now six years since the German duo of Jasmin Siddiqui, aka Hera, and Falk Lehmann, aka Akut, made a stop in Lexington, Kentucky where the @PRHBTN festival continues to change the face of the city. Creators of hauntingly beautiful storytelling images, @StreetArtNews reports that the two murals Herakut painted in Lexington were installments in a children’s book project. The second of those is this work on N Limestone in one of the city’s new artistic hubs. Inevitably the highly visible work raised the usual questions about both the relationship of street art and neighborhood revitalization, as well as when art should be installed on historic properties. @herakut @hera_herakut @akut_herakut
