Pop Up Piano Name is “Bubbles”
About the Pop Up Piano “Bubbles”
The Pop Up Piano project, or even just one Sing for Hope Piano in a park, at its home in a classroom, or in a community center, has the potential to change the course of a life. Subsequently, that life could transform a community, a country, or the world. I understand such a statement seeming like a far-fetched idea, but I would ask then what is hope?
These pianos aren’t just visual spectacles or instruments. They are invitations to come “play” and participate in the tremendous ideas and discovery that are inspired by the arts. The bubbles could be thought to represent those ideas, or the people that have them. The bubbles are the songs they write, their paintings and pianos, each slightly different, unique but connected, bouncing around sending each other in new directions.
My goal with “Bubbles” is to stir imaginations, encouraging those who come across it to engage in the infinite possibilities of sharing their art and experiences with others.
About Rob Baird - Rob Baird is a visual artist based in Brooklyn, NY. He has gained a reputation for intricate detail in his intellectual and emotionally stirring imagery. While preferring to leave most work open to interpretation, the artist develops concepts around personal life experiences as well as social commentary. Among other influences, artists Tomi Ungerer and Ralph Steadman are cited as sources of inspiration for his work. His portfolio continues to grow and spans a wide variety of material including album covers, illustrations, cartoons, and logo designs.
Three Words That Describe “Bubbles”: fun, imagination, infinite.
