Clarion Alley
Lonely Planet review for Clarion Alley
Trial by fire is nothing compared to Clarion Alley’s street-art test: unless a piece is truly inspired, it’s going to get peed on or painted over. Very few pieces survive for years – Andrew Schoultz’s mural of gentrifying elephants displacing scraggly birds, a silhouette of kung-fu-fighting female anarchists that makes Charlie’s Angels look like chumps, and a trompe l’oeil escalator. Incontinent art critics seem to have taken over the east end of the alley – pee-eew! – so the less aromatic, more intricate murals are on the west.
