Artist Jen Flaum is creating a mural at Brick & Dough in Montclair, New Jersey, generating a significant buzz on TikTok with over 26 million views. While most local reactions were positive, a few expressed disappointment over the removal of the previous mural, 'The Curse of Socrates' by artist Jayemaich, which depicted two elderly women. This change has ignited discussions about the value and emotional connection people have to public art, as they navigate the balance between new and old artistic expressions in their community.
Things are getting saucy at a New Jersey pizza joint. Artist Jen Flaum was commissioned to paint a new mural on the exterior wall of Brick & Dough, a pizzeria in Montclair.
Flaum posted a video to TikTok on April 12 of her working on the new mural while people walked by and shared their reactions - and while nearly all were positive, one passerby expressed their immediate disappointment.
'That wall was blank forever, so we really wanted to put something cool up,' Rosenthal told TODAY.com of the original mural. 'We started talking, and I commissioned him to paint what was up there.'
