More than twenty artists from around the
world are currently painting large contemporary "Wynwood style†murals in
the halls of the Canvas condo tower in downtown Miami, developed by NR
Investments.
Daniel “Krave†Fila was commissioned by
the developer to organize a group of artists and curate the project. See video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MGoYl1KAxg&feature=youtu.be. Once finished,
the project will include about 200 original works of art, with 56 large-scale
murals on 27 residential floors, plus original prints, photographs and
additional framed paintings throughout the 37 story building.
“I’m having a blastâ€, said Fila, “All the artists that are
involved are very enthusiastic, because the client has given us such freedom
and support from the very beginning, to be ourselves,†Fila said. “It’s going
to be a very special project by the end, I don’t think there is going to be anything
like it, and I couldn’t be prouder of what it’s become."
Canvas is at 1630 N.E. 1st Ave. in Miami,
situated west of Edgewater and adjacent to the Wynwood Arts District. The
37-story building will include 513 total units. The studios, one- and two-bedroom
residences will range in price from $386,200 to $630,000 and in size from 690
square feet to 1205 square feet. The building is expected to be completed in
the third quarter of 2018.
