Broad Avenue Mural

French artist Guillaume Alby (aka REMED) visited Memphis for 2 weeks in May of 2011 to paint this incredible mural on the warehouse at 2542 Broad Avenue owned by Loeb Properties. The project started with a chance encounter in Miami several months earlier when Bob Loeb was attending an exhibition of Alby's work where a large mural by him had recently been painted in front of the gallery. Loeb was taken with the vibrant colors and dynamic shapes and introduced himself to the artist with the prospect of coming to Memphis to create a mural on the Broad Avenue warehouse.

UrbanArt acted as cultural ambassador, introducing Guillaume to Memphis and many of its artists and cultural arbiters during his stay. Our own mural maestro, Siphne Sylve, assisted Guillaume throughout, and the UrbanArt office across the street from the mural served as Guillaume's supply depot and base camp.
