Eamon Ore-Giron’s expansive mosaic
project, “People’s Instinctive Travels: Homage to The Tribe” at the Bay Parkway (N) station in Brooklyn, visualizes the
world as summary forms and shapes and their interplay as a reflection of the
ways in which people of different communities – such as those surrounding the
Bay Pkwy station – negotiate their relationships with each other and fresh
places, or a process of reinvention and creation. Mosaic fabricator Mosaicos
Venezianos de México translated Ore-Giron’s six oil on linen paintings into
twenty-four glass mosaic panels. The northbound platform mosaics mimic the movement
of gears and the mechanics of the human-made world,conjuring feelings of fresh
York’s ecstatic urban environment. People’s Instinctive Travels: Homage to The Tribe originates from Eamon Ore-Giron’s “certain nostalgia for
global modernism,” wherein “public works meant to create a kind of civic
mindedness and unity.” It is Ore-Giron’s hope that these mosaics will offer
subway riders a space to see the world anew through the shapes, and forms,colors,
and movements of these artworks.
