The Magic Gardens of Philadelphia was not only only a surprise to me because of the cleverness of the art itself but also due to its location, size and altogether composure. First of all I cannot even imagine the amount of time and effort that was put into the composition of a piece that is so in depth and large but the other factor is that it is much smaller than what I had imagined. I imagined it as more a sprawl, a maze of mosaic art, bottles, bike pieces and dramatic quotes. The strangest factor for me however was the location, a small plot on south street managed to be turned into a masterpiece by Zagar and some other artists.
Locations of art such as this can add such character to a city and with all the powerful quotes added to the magic gardens, key messages are being thrown out to society and visitors of this wonderful creation.
