Brent Holland public artwork unveiling ceremony opening remarksIn 2016, the metro's streets got a "Splatter" of adrenaline. I was overwhelmed by all the community support.
Intended for the people of Greater Des Moines, I transformed a commuter bus into a travelling canvas. Des Moines is known for the convergence of the Raccoon & Des Moines Rivers. Picture the bus having just splashed through a river of paint. Symbolically, Des Moines' burgeoning art scene is also converging. |

The many details
Many of the individual images in the composition were digitally-sculpted. Each have their own personalities. In fact, many of them were named by my daughters. For example, Pink Brownie, Laker, Fire Face, Fiona, Blueberry, and Red Right. See if you can find these in the piece.
