The job was completed Sunday, said Vozzola on his Facebook page. He led a team to paint his mural design on the former Ukulele Lounge on Las Vegas Blvd for the Cultural Corridor Coalition. Titled "An External Expression Of An Internal Struggle," the work speaks on the struggles of the artist, community, and culture in Las Vegas, says Vozzola. “Greater or lesser, we all learn from our struggles as they add character and shape our existence. This piece is bright and colorful, and meant to be a visual landmark that radiates positivity in the simplest of forms.”
The project was announced in February and been on Vozzola's mind since he was commissioned to take the lead. It was the last art project he talked about with his father, who passed away this year. “I can proudly say it's done, all of these connections emerge – the title of the piece, the community, the stories, my internalizations and experiences – everything leading up to this point makes so much sense,” says the muralist.
Work on the mural began November 6 and is first in a series of building beautification projects initiated by the Cultural Corridor Coalition.
