Zoe Tey: World City and Reverse Plexiglas Paintings


Both of these installments were done by Zoe Tey and placed on the third floor of the Questrom School of Business. 

Above is "World City", which is a digital print that pasted together multiple large international cities into one huge, interconnected megalopolis. I thought this was particularly well done for two main reasons. First, it was expertly designed for this specific location. Questrom is one of the schools with the most international students at BU, so the emphasis on international connectivity is very relevant. The way that business and industry have modernized in the last couple of decades has broken down once immense barriers between those cities so that it does feel as if people in each of these cities could work together as if they were actually in the same location. 

Below are three paintings done on the back side of large Plexiglas plates. This one took on more of an abstract quality, but was just as pleasing to look at. These pieces bring a much needed hit of color to the Questrom Hallway as well as making a once plain, off-white wall far more interesting and aesthetically pleasing. I especially like the way that the three panels are each original and individual in their designs, but also complement each other so well in everything from color to the overall flow of the lines across them.
