Well-known Houston Street Artist Gonzo247 created concepts for artwork above the five-story podium on the structure that surrounds Camden Downtown’s amenity deck. For the newest addition to his Hybrid of Humanity art series, entitled “The Calm and The Courage,” Gonzo247 took various interpretations of his interactions with indigenous cultures in North America, Africa, Asia and Northern Europe to inspire representative artistic content. He then created a mash up of those experiences with traditional elements of graffiti art culture for this representation of Humanity Working as One. Camden Downtown is a new 21-story, 271-unit luxury urban residential development located adjacent to the Toyota Center and Root Square Park in Downtown Houston. South Wall: 30 feet x169 feet West Wall: 30 feet x 169 feet Total Size: 8,901 SF Time to Paint: 6-7 Weeks (Over a span of 3 Months)
“Hybrid of Humanity” is the absorption of culture and influential experiences. Diversity acting as one and represented in shapes and colors.” - Gonzo247
