Cosmic Murals

Mural (myoor' el)n. 1. a large painting executed on or permanently affixed to a wall.– adj. 2. of, on, for, or like a wall.

Cosmic Murals are created with either abstract or semi-representational imagery in mind. Each mural is made by laying out the tiles and glazing the design. The tiles are then fired separately and reassembled for hanging.

The murals are concepts from many different sources, such as plants, fabric designs, aerial photography and inspirational art that Josh sketches from his travels. Custom commissions are also available to fit a site specific area or image. Please contact your local gallery representative or Clay Squared to find out more details to make a custom piece or find out what work is currently available.
