4th Avenue water tower gets some STIK figures



UK-based street artist STIK has painted the water tower at 127 Fourth Ave. at East 13th Street ... bringing a little color to this corner near Union Square ...







Back in September, STIK, working with the Dorian Grey Gallery, created the mural titled "Liberty" on the building above Doc Holliday's on East Ninth Street and Avenue A.

As for 127 Fourth Ave., that vintage-looking clock arrived up here in April as part of a rebranding effort for the apartment building. Not sure if STIK's work is part of that same rebranding.

    great, more wretched public art to go along with the dismal piece on the south side of Union Square

    I live across the street from this water tower and recently someone got the clever idea of lighting it at night with two bright white floodlights. The lights glare through my apartment windows. It's incredibly intrusive - imagine someone parked a van across the street from your home and decided to shine their headlights into your living room. I can't enjoy the view at night from the only windows I have in my apartment, because I have to draw the shades in order to avoid the obnoxious glare of these things. Is this what you call "liberty"? I don't.
