Idyllic Landscape Mural on Carniceria Belky

An attractive fanciful landscape mural has been painted on the north wall of Carniceria Belky on Hole Ave. (10775 Hole Ave, Riverside, CA 92505).  The mural depicts an idyllic landscape with a prominent mountain, river with a small waterfall, a country house, grazing cattle and a horse, and a parrot.  The mural is signed R. murals with (702) 348-5398.  Based on a web search on the phone number, the artist appears to be Ricardo Chicas @ricardochicasalguero.

Optometry-themed Murals on Tyler Street at the Intersection with Hole Ave.

Two similar murals have been painted on the SoCal Optometry building at the intersection of Hole Ave. and Tyler Street (4000 Tyler St, Riverside, CA 92503). Each mural looks to show a pair of eyeglasses being assembled (or disassembled) from a series of rods, cones, blocks and spheres with a raincross, Riverside's symbol, in the midst.  The mural was painted by Riverside teacher and artist Sean Banister @seanbanister.

Digital Art Using California Air Quality Data at the California Air Resources Board Southern Headquarters

Part of our tour of the California Air Resources Board's Research facility (4001 Iowa Ave, Riverside, CA 92507) involved seeing the art within the building.  Across from the employee entrance on the south side of the building is a painting of aspects of California air made by digitizing air monitoring data.  The work was made by Refik Anadol in 2021. More information can be found on the sign below.  Unfortunately, it was not updating and changing while we were there.  It only showed a single image.
