New Mural in Vienna, by klaus69 on Jun 27, 2020 15:49:18 GMT 1, "the Revelation" by Tom Lohner / 

In the heart of Vienna, just around the corner of the museum of modern and contemporary art (MQ), Gardegasse 3 - you will find one of the city’s oldest houses. From now on this building - a luxury boutique Hotel - received a facelift, by the award winning artist Tom Lohner.
In collaboration with Hollywood actress Rose McGowan and Calle Libre he developed the concept for an over-scale mural art piece, capturing thoughts, emotions, impacts and influences but also hope for a cure of the Corona pandemic.
The art piece anticipates, by pinkish arrows and word-fractures, the viewers to walk around the house’s corner, in order to detect a revelation of the entire artwork. It shows in an ecclesiastical way two large figures - a woman and a man, wrapped in seemingly never ending coats - praying for a Corona anti serum. Instead using fictional characters, Tom decided to paint Rose McGowan and Kurt Russell. Why? - because the entire Corona period, with all it’s following happenings, appear like a Hollywood film production, resembled by flying TV sets and further wording.
Placed between two windows you can also find a young girl wearing a facial mask, looking towards the two protagonists, resembling aspiration towards a good end and the beginnings of a new chapter in future history.
