Nite Owl
Nite Owl is an Oakland, CA based artist whose expressive owls explore the relations between colors and geometries and enter into the realm of "flatness." A prolific artist whose signature owls jump off the canvas and engage the viewer. Whether it be stickers in the streets, canvases hung on gallery walls or large scale murals in the streets, Nite Owl's works transfer the artist's energy and intensity to the canvas.
"Windy Day"
I chose to depict this Eurasian Eagle Owl to be a guardian of sorts of the interior courtyard of Box Shop SF. Perched high above on a container, the owl's piercing and overpowering eyes look over the courtyard and out into the bay. A windblown effect was added to the owl's ear tufts to replicate the fierce winds that whip through this area. This owl will not feel out of place perched up high above.
"Birds of a Feather"
This piece was created with the intent to add vibrant colors and intensity to the streetscape outside the Box shop. A colorful Owl Totem to ward off the evil spirits.
