Now, while waiting for public transportation, South Salt Lake City commuters can contemplate public art, thanks to the creative work and learning experiences of seven University of Utah painting and drawing students. Nearby 2100 S. and the 3300 S. Millcreek TRAX line are two large-scale murals, painted with the goal of “bonding the community.” One is a 25- by 60-foot trompe l’oeil (“fool-the-eye” or “illusion” painting), which juxtaposes two trains-a historic trolley and a TRAX train-coming toward the viewer at twilight. Historic buildings of the surrounding area-the Century Theater, Harmon’s Kentucky Fried Chicken and some that no longer exist-are painted in the background. The other mural, a hardedge painting, is a bird’s eye view of passengers waiting for a train, reading and conversing-all set against a bright yellow background. Read More
