Blue gorilla APECHAIN (side B). ArtBasel 2024 - Wynwood
This large-scale mural was created for Apechain during Art Basel Miami 2024, in collaboration with The Creative Outcome and Beat Basel. Located on the side of Fundimensions Game Center (2129 NW 1st Ct, Miami, FL 33127), this piece immerses the viewer in a deep, atmospheric world filled with glowing swamps, dark jungle silhouettes, and mysterious eyes peeking through the shadows.
The brand name “APECHAIN” appears in custom graffiti-style lettering, fused with the scenery alongside the spectral outline of a gorilla, merging the primal with the digital.
I developed the full visual concept for the client, from digital sketches to final execution. A photo of the design process is included in this entry.
The mural was fully created with spray paint and completed in 5 working days, becoming part of Apechain’s visual identity and public presence in the Wynwood art district.
