4. I know two mural artists

Their work is all over the U.S. and I'll bet many of you have seen their murals. Both have worked as mural artists for over 30 years.

Which is to say I've looked at a lot of murals and I find this one remarkable.

It does justice to George Floyd.

7. Artists Detour and Hiero painted a mural of George Floyd on Colfax Avenue

Last week, muralists Detour and Hiero completed a collaborative portrait of George Floyd. The motif covers a wall on the side of a Ready Temporary Services building on Colfax Avenue at High Street where the Colorado Guardian Angels have based operations for the last few years.

Detour, whose name is Thomas Evans, initially told Denverite that he’d rather not comment on the work, preferring to let it “speak for itself.”

But he said he spoke to a lot of passersby as he and Hiero worked, and he decided to send us a short thought about the role of art in this moment of protest and uprising against police brutality and systemic violence.
