For this temporary art project, Luther Wright focused on his connection to people and public spaces in Maryland. Each of the designs for the bus shelters represent his personal experiences growing up in Maryland. From live music to walks in the park, or trips to the aquarium, nothing really sums up better growing up in this area. The artist stated that " Metro not only helps us on our daily commute, but it also allows us to explore our surroundings and engage with our community." With bold vibrant intricate designs, his work is intended to change the mood and energy of a space. Through these compositions Luther Wright hoped to embody the true essence of my Maryland experience.

Luther Wright challenges the boundaries of traditional painting as he merges old formal techniques with new modern techniques creating his own genre of art. Luther draws inspiration from everyday situations, people, social media, the youth, as well as visions from his dream/meditation state.

As part of Metro's Bus Stop and Shelter Improvements Program, Metro's Art in Transit Program and the Prince George's Arts and Humanities Council are pleased to share Luther Wright's artwork with the community.
