Knowledge Is Power

Painted Utility Box

 Providence, RI, 02909

Bright colored graphics with outlines is the style Brent uses to convey and communicate several thoughts to observers in an attempt to positively influence behavior. The use of artwork to convey his message presents it in a visible yet non-threating manner. “Knowledge Is Power” aims to make people know that being smart will make a better life for yourself.

The Art Transformer Project, organized by the Department of Art, Culture + Tourism, is geared towards the recognition and celebration of local artists. Artists are asked to paint City of Providence utility boxes with original designs. Once professionally painted, these utility boxes in neighborhood business districts will contribute to the vitality and attractiveness of the urban streetscape and deter graffiti.
