1 / 10

Low Bros, the Berlin-based brothers Christoph and Florin Schmidt, are renowned for their sophisticated graphic murals and gallery work that capture a youthful world of their own imagining. Inspired by 1980s and ’90s pop culture elements, the duo frequently combines two-dimensional compositions with three-dimensional characters that seem to move freely through a digitally constructed space. The SODO Track has transformed the portal to Downtown Seattle – a two-mile transit corridor traveled by over 50,000 daily – into an imaginative raceway in motion. This free and accessible urban art gallery is the first to commission over 60 artists from 20 countries to explore one theme, and paint side-by-side. Over three summers, hometown heroes and renowned international artists – invited by curator Gage Hamilton and who self-submitted to 4Culture’s Muralist Roster – produced over 50 murals exploring motion, speed and progress. Their diverse array of ideas, perspectives, and aesthetics come together in a continuous line of sight, connecting the local to global in one communal creative experiment. The SODO Track spans 5th Ave South between Royal Brougham Way and Spokane Street, in Seattle’s South of Downtown (SODO) neighborhood. 64 artists produced 51 murals in 2016, 2017, and 2018.
