Viral Van Gogh combines two ideas that might not seem to belong together: Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night and the microscopic world of viruses and pharmaceuticals. The result is a site-specific mural created for the West Reading Drug Store.

About the Project
Public Art Workshop students developed several concepts tied to the location, with a West Reading version of Starry Night and a microscopic virus design emerging as the favorites. The final composition blended the two, while chemistry students researched pharmaceutical structures that were translated into layered stencils across the mural.
