Mural Celebration at The Shops at La Jolla Village

The Shops at La Jolla Village will soon be the canvas for a dazzling set of original murals and a mosaic creation from local and nationally renowned artists.

To celebrate the debut of these beautiful works of art, we are inviting you to a celebration for an evening of art, food, music, raffles, and, of course, shopping!

Creating these works of art are local artists Ian Ross and Alexandra Underwood, and Chicago-based Jim Bachor. Ross’s contribution, a hybrid 2D/3D mural, draws inspiration from La Jolla’s famous sea caves, with dense, abstract aquatic imagery accented by ceramic sculptures of leaves that spill over the edges of the painting.

Underwood’s work, which is also inspired by local flora and fauna, includes a pair of traditional murals: a free-flowing painting of butterfly and plant species native to San Diego, and an abstract piece whose wavy colors and shapes call to mind the La Jolla coastline.

Rounding out the collection is a mosaic by Bachor. Comprising hundreds upon hundreds of tiny, hand-cut pieces of Italian glass and porcelain, the abstract-leaning mosaic depicts a colorful group of board shorts-sporting beachgoers.
