A mural inspired by the hustle and bustle of midtown.
Located in the office of LinkedIn within the Empire State Building, Empire Boogie Woogie is an explosion of color in a utilitarian space. We wanted to create a satisfying visual experience with a colorfully charged emphasis to use “color as a vessel for joy.” The title of the mural, Empire Boogie Woogie is a nod to the Dutch abstract painter, Piet Mondrian’s Broadway Boogie Woogie, which was made between 1942 – 43 after the artist first moved to NYC.
In the mural we infuse the space with some of New York’s dynamic rhythm, energy, and movement, solidifying the city as a locale that has inspired generations of artists. As a visual anchor, Empire Boogie Woogie creates a tangible connection between the hustle and bustle of the city and the ideas, journeys, and stories flowing throughout the office.
