When you think “Philadelphia”, you might think of two things: its breathtaking murals and its die-hard love for the Eagles. With more than 4,000 murals across the city and an electrified fan base gearing up for the Super Bowl, the city’s excitement is reaching a fever pitch.
That energy now is immortalized in a brand-new mural, unveiled Tuesday, Feb. 4, in a collaboration between Mural Arts Philadelphia and local artist Tiff Urquhart.
The mural features a striking, colorful eagle, with Xs, Os, and arrows subtly incorporated into the background — echoing a football playbook. Urquhart, known for her bold use of patterns and colors, aimed to capture the city’s electric spirit.
