The creator of Homage (sans da Vinci), “Mother of Invention,” and the art deco style of the Millennium Parking Deck murals downtown will be bringing his vision to a new mural on the corner of Fifth Street and Cleveland Avenue NW.
Tommy Morgan’s raw new mural, “Shattered Expressions,” takes onlookers from rage, through sorrow, to joy, via oversized 12’ x 12’ panels. Each panel will be sculpted out of high-density foam, sealed with hard-coated cement, and finished with an application of colorful acrylic shards, accenting the contour of each expression.
Morgan provides custom paintings, wall treatments, sculptures, murals and other artistic services and consultation. His view of artistic expression is simple and solitary – he seeks to provoke or convey emotion. Nothing more, nothing less.
“Mother of Invention’ pays tribute to the steel industry, ‘Homage’ pays tribute to the masters, as well as the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Even the Millennium parking deck has a decorative purpose ,” said Morgan. “Shattered Expressions’ is truly art for the sake of art. No trump loi, no story-telling, no tribute. Just raw emotion.”
Morgan hopes that his latest creation will serve Canton for a lifetime, becoming an iconic and timeless downtown Canton landmark.
