Shortly after the tragic accident that resulted in the death of Kobe Bryant, many artists in Los Angeles and around the world began to dedicate their artistic time to creating works as a way to honor one of the best players of all time and his legacy. Isso gerou uma série de frases postadas em paredes nas ruas de Los Angeles que ficaram conhecidas como “Kobe Murals”.
In 2016, right after the last game of Kobe's career, the artist JCRo created this painting composed of 413 triangles and located on the wall of the Shoe Palace store, the one located on Melrose Avenue. JCRo is a very authentic artist who works with a hyper-realistic and futuristic style composed only of triangles of his favorite "Jordans" and personalities that he admires.
Last week, JCRo dedicated himself to the renovation of the mural that had been extremely compromised in recent times. This tribute represents a lot for the culture behind basketball, and will now live on for many years to come in the city of Los Angeles.
