Sam Houston State University
Echo Arts Advisory is proud to have played a pivotal role in the realization of “Large Variation: Blue,” a striking 26 x 26 ft ceramic mosaic mural by Amy Ellingson, located in the College of Osteopathic Medicine Building at Sam Houston State University in Conroe, Texas. Our comprehensive services encompassed representing and advising the artist, Amy Ellingson, throughout the project’s lifecycle. We were instrumental in bridging communication between Ellingson and the client, ensuring a seamless integration of artistic vision with the space’s architectural context. This involved meticulous coordination over design concepts, budgeting discussions, and the final agreement that shaped this masterpiece.
Ellingson’s mural is a visual symphony of color, shape, and motion. Its intricate lines and layered forms bring an energizing dynamism and vitality to the space, with deep blue hues that recall the infinite sky. Perfectly situated to enhance the grand atrium lobby, “Large Variation: Blue” creates a visual connection across the building’s levels, drawing the splendor of the external world indoors.
The mural is a vibrant example of the transformative potential of public art, acting as a beacon of wonder and inspiration for all who pass by. It exemplifies the capacity of public art to elevate a space and leave a lasting, positive impact on its audience.
Our role extended beyond artistic advisement to include the logistical challenges of installation. Echo Arts Advisory facilitated the intricate coordination necessary for the mural’s installation, navigating the complexities of shipping, travel, and health concerns presented by the COVID pandemic with expertise and efficiency.
Echo Arts Advisory has a proven track record of managing and executing public art projects of all scales and complexities. “Large Variation: Blue” stands as a testament to our commitment to bringing artistic visions to life, highlighting our ability to navigate the intricacies of art installation in any environment.
