Utility Box Art #7

Utility Box Art #7

This utility box occupies a very busy street corner in South Pasadena.  It is colorful and interesting to look at tucked under a shady mature tree.  This box has a collection of images that as a viewer, I am not sure what they represent.

This panel reminds me of the iconic image from the Great Escape with Steve McQueen and James Garner.  But, it is also peppered with iconic South Pasadena images of flying parrots and a baby ostrich.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and maybe the artist wants us to be confused. Maybe he or she doesn’t want this artistic rendering to be obvious to the viewer.  All in all, it is fun to look at and definitely is welcome as opposed to a plain utility box.
