Baker College Residence @ Rice University

Daniel Anguilu is well-known for his colorful, semi-abstract art, which began as illicit graffiti on exterior walls and freight trains and grew in popularity until he began getting paid commissions for his work. For the Baker College, Rice students had several opportunities to meet with the artist to discuss ideas and suggestions, and in October 2014 Anguilu spent roughly two weeks transforming the wall from a badly-lit outdoor hallway into a colorful, fantastical space. The mural is now a hip spot for selfies and gatherings on Rice campus and also highlights the university’s involvement in the art world and in the Houston community.
