Description
Colour photograph of the brick mosaic mural "New World" by Bas Degroot, c. 1991.
Constructed in 1990 by Bas Degroot of Winger, ON, at 77 Division Street, 80' X 20'.
This was the Festival of Arts' only non-painted mural. It contains nearly 12,000 bricks in seven colours. In terms of interpretation, the artists' intention was of a spiritual nature to visualize our trek towards, and expectation of, a real new world yet to come.
