Snyder (re)paints Van Gogh in Oceanside

On March 30, 2020, Bryan Snyder celebrated Van Gogh’s birthday by repainting his Van Gogh stencil mural. In addition to the full-body portrait, Snyder painted a boutique of sunflowers.

Along with adding art to the community, the goal of this project is to create a relationship between the art and the existing environment,” Snyder said. The electrical box has been transformed into a freshly painted canvas.”

The mural was originally painted on March 30, 2013 again in celebration of the post-impressionist artist’s birthday. At that time, the height of the wall was also extended to fit the design.

Back in 2013, I first painted the mural and extended the wall around midnight,” Snyder said. Technically I did not have permission, but I knew that it would become a cherished addition to the community.”

You can view the Van Gogh stencil mural at the entrance of Artist Alley in downtown Oceanside.
