Hands that Build - Murals

$ On Inquiry

This mural is painted in my hometown - Mount Vernon, Iowa!

"This mural is an honoring of the built environment of the Mount Vernon downtown area. Hands that Build represents the physical structures that have been built over the towns history to provide places of commerce, social gathering locations, and homes. The image of hands is not positioned in a strong manner, but instead a fairly, delicate one, representing a balance of what large tasks can be accomplished with these uniquely human features. We humans are builders and the historic Mount Vernon downtown is a beautiful historic example of this skill. The mural bridges figurative imagery with abstract design, showcasing world class contemporary muralism that has local story and meaning embedded with vibrant colors that are made to catch the eye of observers and make an impact. Large-scale murals of this size and nature activate public spaces and bring observers from near and far, stimulating local economies while providing interactive photographic opportunities. This place-making art is what artist Strider Patton specializes in. By weaving together meaning and beauty with his murals, Strider’s work has proven to be a public space activating force that reminds observers of the unique qualities of humanity."

Strider Patton is a contemporary artist based in San Francisco, California. Best known for his abstract murals, sculptures, and installations, Strider delicately weaves together feelings and emotions through his visual language. His work deals with themes of connection and separation, organization, energy, movement, and void space. Heavily informed by the natural world, culture and his meditative search inward, Strider’s dialogue between color, shape, form and composition is meant to trigger experience.
Strider received his masters degree from California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in cultural anthropology.
A third generation self-taught artist, Strider grew up in art studios, learning to use his hands, observing his surroundings and how to communicate ideas visually. His family art legacy and DIY approach to art, mixed with his academic training in cultural anthropology, allows him to bring a unique multidisciplinary approach to his projects. Strider has worked with world renowned companies in the industries of technology, education, hospitality, construction, finance, local government and health care.
“What we surround ourselves with matter,” he says. “With everything I make I hope to create a trigger for experience - a thought, feeling, or emotion. I believe that if we surround and expose ourselves to certain experiences we can transform ourselves.”
Whether it's painting a tech company’s 3-floor open stairwell lobby at the top of a high rise, directing a 1,750sqft youth mural project with 400 kids in Iowa, exhibiting works in international galleries, collaborating with a neon light artist to have a light-laced glowing mural, painting a rural school in Cambodia with 80 local kids, or realizing a 4-floor public art installation in Soho London, Strider’s diverse range of visual art projects are united by his belief that art is the expression of humanity.
“I am an artist whose primary interest is consciousness and how I can use my skills as an artist to advance my own understanding of consciousness. When I make art I am in a flow state, being fully present. I am most happy there and feel like I am growing as a person. Hopefully as I grow, perhaps others may as well."
