Alec Monopoly's Virgil Abloh Mural in Miami
As the world still mourns the loss of the great and visionary Virgil Abloh, some artists are coping with the shock by channeling it into creativity, paying homepage to Abloh and his legacy. One of these is well-known artists Alec Monopoly, who completed a large wall mural in Wynwood, Miami.
The mural’s backdrop employs the blue sky graphics from Abloh’s Fall/Winter 2020 collection for Louis Vuitton which sought to embody the idea of “Heaven on Earth,” with clouds that symbolized freedom, unity, and peace. A large illustration of Abloh in a blue LV suit, angel wings, and a halo rest front and center, while Abloh’s quote “ART IS MADE IN HINDSIGHT” rests on the left corner and Abloh’s name and life dates are printed in Off-White™ typeface on the right corner.
