Twisted Gyros - Mural
A month before their opening day in December 2023, Twisted Gyros owners Jason and Widi Kupper asked if I would install a mural feature in their new brick-and-mortar restaurant. I was delighted to work with them, and together we created something that takes the joy and vibrance of the food and showcases it in form and color. The client requested a design that highlighted their tagline, “Twist Your Tastebuds,” featured their food and ingredients, and incorporated dynamic movement in the composition.
Process: sketching
Before any paint hit the walls, I wanted to offer the client as much flexibility as possible in the artistic direction of the mural. After a two-hour client meeting to discuss ideas and get a feel for the restaurant’s interior environment, and a week’s worth of brainstorming, I provided the client with three distinct options to pursue. After choosing a sketch and reviewing feedback and revisions, i created several more finished, colored options for the client to choose from, as well.
Process: painting
Over the course of a week, I transferred the completed color illustration onto a 10x5’ section of wall using the grid method. Many hours were spent mixing paint and listening to podcasts while the mural came together.
And……complete!
Twisted Gyros is a Greek fusion restaurant located in Hillsboro, OR. I highly recommend paying a visit to taste some of their absolutely delicious food (and maybe take a peek at my little contribution, too!)
