Dolphin Fresco Part 2

The composition is fitting as the house is so close to the Pacific Ocean that an open window provides the viewer with the sound of crashing waves. The blue sky and intense blue-green ocean of the background in this composition complements the color scheme of the rest of the bathroom which incorporates light hues of green and blue and the stark white of fine marble.

Dolphin Fresco Part 1

Dolphin Fresco, a buon (true) fresco by iLia Anossov (fresco). An "ansamble" of classic fresco technique Pompeian plaster methods and mild influence of art deco. The foam on the waters surface seems to reference the dramatic movement of water in The Big Wave by Japanese artist Hokusai Katsuchika. A boarder of geometric spirals seems to echo the shapes of the walls below and adds a Mediterranean touch to the work. Presented by www.FrescoSchool.org

LA MIRADA - In the 18 years since a prominent Los Angeles muralist painted it, the 40-foot depiction of Jesus Christ on a Biola University building has sparked controversy.

Students of color say they are offended by Jesus being portrayed as white.

The latest round in the controversy began earlier this month when university officials began considering to refurbish the mural, titled "The Word."

Biola officials decided Thursday to delay a decision on restoring the mural for a year.

"I met with the president (Barry Corey), and we decided to put the matter on hold to extend discussions throughout the Biola community," said Provost Gary Miller.
