Check out the large mural recently completed opposite the Gallery Bethesda apartment building on Auburn Avenue.
It’s from Bethesda artist and Walt Whitman High School graduate Jordann Wine, hired by developer Donohoe to add a new touch to the Gallery’s pedestrian plaza.
The mural includes 26 shades of purple and more than 1,200 triangles across the 24-foot by 90-foot cinder block wall, according to local blogger Robert Dyer.
Besides adding some public art to the plaza, the mural will also serve as a placeholder of sorts. Donohoe has approval to build a second Gallery of Bethesda building (at 16 stories and 221 units) on the site. But with the first Gallery building opening just this year, it’ll likely be a few years before ground is broken.
