Vincent Owens of Park Hill Financial District and his uncle, local artist Jack Price II, installed a new mural commemorating Denver's sister city.
Jack Price II's new mural at Denver park City of Axum Park, in which Tigray flags flank an abstract representation of a king.On a blistering June afternoon in north Denver, painter Jack Price II is putting the finishing touches on a vibrant new mural covering the basketball court in, assisted by the project's organizer, Vincent Owens. But even with the sun beating down, the two men aren't missing the recent soggy season — the rain really messed with their schedule.
Originally called Clayton Park after Mile High businessman George Washington Clayton, the park was renamed in 1993 to commemorate Axum, Ethiopia, becoming Denver's ninth sister city. Historically, the city was the cultural center of the Axumite empire, which lasted roughly from 100 B.C. to 1000 A.D. The ancient kingdom left impressive traces in the form of massive obelisks, which mark the burial places of kings and other prominent citizens.
"I had to show them how to put it on the concrete. I'm their painter: 'You been doing it for fifty years: show us, pop! How you do it? How you paint concrete?' There's a bonding system you use to seal the concrete down so the paint will take. This is a special paint, it's not regular paint, this is concrete stain."
