April Greiman is the innovative artist who designed this colorfully abstract piece that contains various materials including integral-colored concrete and imbedded stainless steel. It is called Zoids and is 10 x 60 feet. It was completed in 2002.
This functional piece of art is a giant welcome mat that is currently not being enjoyed as the building stands empty. The artwork was commissioned by Sears Great Indoors who originally owned and occupied the building located in the Empire Center at 1301 N. Victory Place. I wanted to be sure to document it on Art Around Burbank just in case the new owners decide to make changes that would affect it.

This whimsical brushed aluminum cut out sculpture of children and animals is found at the entrance to the Burbank City Animal Shelter, 1150 N. Victory Place.
After looking at the websites of the artist, Joe Fay, and Burbank Art in Pulblic Places, I realize that the individual pieces have been reconfigured since it's original placement in 1993. Nevertheless it is still a playful and bright piece. An especially nice greeting when one has come in hopes of finding "Best Friends." |
