Accentuated Forms in Space
- Acrylic
- Dorothy Gillespie
The bright colored and playful mural entitled 'Accentuated Forms in Space' has been apart of Roanoke's public art collection for over forty years. This well known mural was designed by renowned artist, and Roanoke native, Dorothy Gillespie. Like many of her other pieces, 'Accentuated Forms in Space' is an abstract piece with fluid movements. The collaboration between Gillespie and the region’s arts community made this mural possible as they celebrated the Artemis Festival of Women in the Arts by painting this mural. The mural shows what great things can come from community teamwork.
