Description
Rocco Satoshi paints bridge side between #S-47 &#S-Abut, Chicano Park, with geometric designs. He is on a cherry picker."Rocco comes to San Diego as a guest artist. Torero and Seja direct him to Chicano Park. Rocco primes the wall then uses Day Glow Paints. Salvador Torres experimented with Day Glow in 1973. This paints fades faster than the acrylics used (Proline Paints, & Nova Color.) Salvador Torres directs Rocco to register his easement permit needed to paint the sides of the bridge. He does not. Salvador Torres receives phone calls from Caltrans reprimanding Salvador Torres for painting the side of the bridge. This action also opens the way for Victor Ochoa to paint between #F-44 &#F-Abut. The slide #7-473 [temp number] shows the attempts to integrate Abutment with the mural (not seen) under the bridge. Caltrans cuts down the tree, and Rocco's mural is now faded and not as bright as shown." Salvador Torres The artist of any work retains all rights to that work.
