HAMILTON.GLASS
artist.
Richmond Va. artist, Hamilton Glass, painted a mural on the back of computer tech shop,ALB Tech of a man with a gun to his head. Glass titled the piece, "The Recession" as he was inspired to paint it by the nation's current economic downfall. Although the piece stirred up very little controversy, some neighboring businesses felt that the mural was offensive enough to detract away customers from their establishments. Glass agreed to paint a new mural over it that in the end not only made
a bigger statement than the last, but it also addressed two major groups of people worldwide ; those that feel powerless and those that feel voiceless.
