Description
"Salvador Torres experiments with OP Art in 1965. The colonnades of the bridge structure provide Salvador Torres with a variety of views that Salvador Torres relates to optical experiences of shape, linear, and light and dark rhythmic patterns that make up Salvador Torres' visions of this orthotropic bridge structure. In order for Salvador Torres to understand the Monumental Mural concept of the San Diego Coronado Bay Bridge, Salvador Torres has had to dissect, abstract, and visualize its unique three dimensional properties. One has to see the San Diego Coronado Bay Bridge at night! An outstanding image of waterfront silhouettes, bridge lights sparkling off the bay ocean, and images of ghostly dark images of cavernous arches. Salvador Torres visualizes these monumental columns with artificial lighting powered by solar and wind power energy to light the mural designs on the columns sites." Salvador Torres
