The Original Three Points
Meet the Artists: Henry Cunningham & Chris Chappell
Henry Cunningham and Chris Chappell are the artists for the original Three Points mural at the intersection of Goss Avenue and Logan Streets.
They collaborated on a design that is modern, bold, and reflective of the community. The concept was originally described as “portraits in black and white scales with colorful graphic elements that will create transparent effects and add depth to the wall.”
Chris Chappell is an artist from the Belknap neighborhood who has resided within a "10 mile radius of Louisville, Kentucky for his entire existence." His medium varies from glass skateboard decks to large-scale murals and everything in between. Many of Chris' murals can be seen throughout Louisville, on buildings such as the 15th Street Waterfall, Hilltop Tavern in Clifton, and the Artist and Craftsman Supply in German-Paristown.

The Ackerman Millworks Mural
Meet the Artist: Stephen Paulovich
Paulovich's
portfolio proves he has the ability to design within our ideal color
palette and create something that adds to Goss Avenue's charm rather
than distract from it. Intricate details of the mural will truly add to
the walkability of Goss Avenue, especially as it continues to grow with
new commercial endeavors and design improvements.
Aside from Paulovich's artistic talents, he holds a special connection to the area and the former cotton mill that we feel is significant. Paulovich had an art studio inside of the cotton mill from 1994 until it closed in 2013. He spent many years working in the building and learning its history. In fact, years ago, he completed a stunning mural of the antique mall along the backside of the cotton mill that was hardly visible to the public (it has since been removed, but it is pictured below). His daughter was practically raised in the mill and she recently graduated from duPont Manual High School!

"To the Top Please"
Abell Elevator contacted Three Points to put some murals on some walls on the north side of their lot in an effort to curb graffiti. Along with Abell's branding, we wanted to include some graphic elements, as well as an homage to their business - selling and servicing elevators. Elevators were a perfect fit for conveying a positive message to reach for the sky, hence the elevator in the mural opening its doors to a blue sky with clouds.

The Germantown Mill Lofts Coin
Germantown Mill Lofts owners Underhill Associates commissioned Three Points to paint a replica of a coin on the side of one of their buildings on their property off Ash Street. The coin was used by workers in the cotton mill to get lunch from the on-site cafeteria when the mill was still in operation.
Underhill Associates has done a wonderful job of incorporating the history of the property with the modern apartments, offices, and restaurant they have developed on the GML property. This coin is just another piece to that historical fabric.
Meet the Artist: Chris Chappell
Having worked with Chris Chappell previously, we knew he would be a great go-to for the GML coin. Chris is fast, reliable, and would do a great job with such a simple project.
Rotating Wall
Abell Elevator has allowed us to use one of the walls on their property as a rotating art wall. This wall has been a hand painted ad for Forecastle, a colorful geometric mural, and it is currently an ad for White Reaper’s new album. It will change again in spring 2020. This wall is great because it is a flat surface, not too large, not too small, and it doesn’t require any special equipment, such as a scissor lift, to paint. Often Seen Rarely Spoken has created each of the three murals to date.
