Joy & Discovery of Walls of the World

From France to Kenya to Hong Kong, Seth Globepainter continues

to traverse the world, sharing moments of curiosity and discovery on

the sides of buildings and in neighborhood parks. Evoking the joy and

optimism of children at play, he adds vibrant color to walls at a variety

of scales to encourage imagination. Recent paintings feature a young

girl unzipping a blue sky—an interior world—on the side of an

apartment building in France, a group of children playing within

arched windows in Cyprus, and a young boy painting a picture in

his bright school uniform in Kenya.
