Poppy Field Mural
The above image is part of the December 2008 LateralArt collection.
The image is targeted for 19′ tall x 14′ wide. As always, LateralArt is happy to custom design to your dimensions and specific design needs. The image here has been cloned to produce a much wider width to coincide with our LateralArt theme of ‘wide walls’.

I’ve worked on art projects in the past that have included digitally printed prints cut from and laid over another substrate or hidden image. Those were cool, but I must say, the concept outlined over at LimitedHype.com from burojet.com is really something.
They’ve used digitally printed murals of unique furniture, but have not been scared to cut them to pieces, and overlay them onto moveable doors.
Obviously these are tailored for those with small living spaces, but the concept in relation to division and revelation of new layers is exciting.
At Lateral Art, we’ve had the opportunity to work with custom cutting houses that cut Aluminum Letters, Sintra, and of course digitally printed items out for us.
What about two layers of murals, one cut to pieces with an intricate pattern, revealing the other behind, but 6 to 12 inches away. As the visitor walks from one viewpoint to the next, the back/revealed image keeps changing. Kind of like a massive lenticular.
We’re up to that challenge, we only need that target wall. Do you have a good application?
In the mural business, we often check out what other people are doing. I found this great bird cage mural in a restaurant. The simple lines add uniformity and really fill the wide open space, and they also do well to the open rafters/faux rafters up above.
One thing to note - the decorator for this project was thinking ahead in his or her combination of the mural with the well matched chosen lighting. It’s not a trivial task to line up mural positions with other wall objects. One has to pay particular attention to HOW the installer deals with the bleed of the mural.
If 6″ of bleed was provided here in the install, but the installer just lined the left hand edge of the mural with the left hand edge of the bleed, the entire mural could be off by 6″ away from any electrical junction boxes. A critical error. It’s very important to clarify to an installer HOW to deal with provided bleed, and HOW to deal with other objects.
