The Lapis Room, connected to the Noisy Water winery in Old Town, has been featuring artwork by local spray paint artist Joshua Patterson. The exhibit “Art and Justus: Dreamin’ in Color,” combines the styles of street art and fine art, as well as depicting imagery tied to Patterson’s Chicano heritage. The artwork reflects stories from Patterson’s life, told through a visual narrative with bright colors and neon lights. The figures “Art” and “Justus” — a combination of the words “justice” and “us” — are depicted throughout most parts of the piece, meant to represent both the artist and viewers as Patterson brings his stories to life.
