Thousands of handmade ceramic tiles nest together like a puzzle on the facade of the Torre San Luis\u00a0hotel in Guadalajara, Mexico. Abstract shapes evocative of a lush garden ecosystem burst across the outdoor wall in a collaboration between Alex Proba<\/a> and the artisans of Cer\u00e1mica Suro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Titled \u201cShape of Movement,\u201d the large-scale public work melds Proba\u2019s organic visual language with a color palette that reflects the local environment. Earthy neutrals, alongside dusty pinks and blues, mimic the sun-drenched landscape, while the dynamic forms appear as if they\u2019re mid-motion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe work is about the movement we carry through spaces every day,\u201d Proba shares. \u201cI wanted the mural to feel as if the shapes are interacting with one another and flowing through the architecture itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the second collaboration between Proba and Cer\u00e1mica Suro, following a vibrant swimming pool installation at a Miami home<\/a>. Find more from both the artist<\/a> and the studio<\/a> on Instagram.<\/p>\n
