French Broad Topo Impression

The Mural:

“French Broad Topo Impression” is a series of planter box murals at 149 - 161 South Lexington created by Brushcan Custom Murals in collaboration with Lexington Station residents and business owners. Inspired by the natural beauty of Asheville’s local surroundings, the planter boxes feature graphic representations of flowing rivers that have been abstracted into stylized forms. The water motif is also meant to echo the history of the creek that once flowed where the building now stands.
