The Story
About This Mural
A monumental portrait of Abraham Lincoln dominates this Water Street mural, rendered in grayscale with subtle colorization that brings depth to his formal suit and facial features. Behind the seated figure, radiating bands of blue and rust-red create a dynamic sunburst effect, while architectural elements of classical columns frame both sides of the composition, echoing the neoclassical style of the Lincoln Memorial. Located in downtown Lexington, this large-scale work honors the historical significance of the nation's 16th president through bold graphic design and careful attention to portraiture and symbolic imagery.
