After an over three-year process, in partnership with Orange County and Lee Road Safe Neighborhood, the first of two designs created by artist John Carollo to add roadside beautification to traffic control boxes in the area is now installed. Located at the intersection of Lee Rd. and Diplomat Circle, in North Orlando, just outside the boundary of the City of Winter Park, FL, the design is a composite image, created by the artist, based on his 13 x 16 foot hand-painted silk and aluminum sculpture, Icarus Ascends.
The vibrant colors really help to enhance what was a pretty bleak intersection and John is always pleased to add a bit of color and beauty to the world wherever he can. A second box created by the artist, featuring entirely different artwork, will be coming to another main entrance to Winter Park on another major road nearby in the future.
