The Eiffel Tower - Word Mosaic Art Print

Word Mosaic Art Print by Curtis Epperson

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE ARTWORK

Paris has a skyline. This is the exclamation point.

The Eiffel Tower is one of those landmarks you recognize before you have time to think about it.

Then Curtis’s word list gives you reasons to look again.

1,665 Steps To The Top. Held Together By 2.5 Million Rivets. Sparkles Every Night. Painted Every 7 Years. Built In 1889 For The World’s Fair In Paris.

And tucked among all those engineering facts are words like Amour, Dream, Romance and Parisian.

Curtis used 126 different words and phrases and spent 26 hours drawing them into the arches, ironwork and unmistakable shape of the tower itself.

From far away, Paris has its icon.

Up close, Paris starts spelling itself.

INSIDE THE ARTWORK

The engineering facts and the romantic words ended up side by side.

Lettering detail from Eiffel Tower.

The Eiffel Tower gave me a word list with two very different personalities.

There are the construction and history phrases: Built In 1889 For The World’s Fair In Paris. Held Together By 2.5 Million Rivets. Painted Every 7 Years. 1,665 Steps To The Top.

Then there are words like Amour, Dream, Love, Romance and Parisian.

I used 126 different words and phrases and spent 26 hours drawing them into the finished tower.

I liked having both sides in the same piece.

The structure is engineering.

The feeling people attach to it is something else entirely.
