New Yorkers weary of an endless winter and its accompanying bone-chilling temperatures may be forgiven for finding a vibrant spot wherever achievable—even on the targeted traffic-clogged corner of Bowery and Houston Streets. There, the Brooklyn-based artist Maya Hayuk has produced a blindingly colour-saturated mural employing her signature cross-hatch geometric strokes. The latest in a stellar lineup of artists commissioned to make their mark on the wall that serves as revolving public gallery space, Hayuk gamely braved the arctic chill to give New Yorkers a much-needed dose of visual power—and a welcome antidote to the winter blues.
