In a New Light 2
University of Northern Colorado - Greeley, CO
2018
The lobby of Crabbe Hall, which houses the UNC Oak Room Gallery and Foundation studios, served as a blank slate for duo Andrew Bablo and Pat Milbery to revitalize. The east coast/west coast collaboration between Bablo and Milbery during the Summer of 2018 resulted in an unprecedented revitalization of Crabbe Hall lobby. Bablo and Milbery were inspired by the architecture and characteristics of the building such as its original oak doors, green marbled baseboards, and sky high arches and wanted their footprint within the space to compliment, not detract, from the classic beauty of the building’s interior. They chose a vibrant 8-color pallette and tinted each one at 20% intervals to create a gradient effect throughout the hallway. The final product is a truly stunning immersive mural.
