JMikal Davis is a Brooklyn-based artist known for his unique style of abstract compositions that integrate ornate floral patterning, discordant colors, and sharp, fragmented geometry. His studio practice evolved out of a formal arts education and an early love of street art growing up in the South. Davis’ aesthetic language fuses the contemporary and the traditional, reflecting both the minimalist deconstruction of Graffuturism movement in mural art, the Washington Color school, and the handmade, folk art style of the Mission School. In addition to gallery shows throughout the US and Europe, Davis continues his street practice with numerous large-scale murals and public commissions.

Max Ehrman: Featured at the entrance to Flores Cocina + Bar on Bay Break Dining Terrace, Max Ehrman’s art features two characters representing spirit animals from Latin culture, known as “alebrijes.” These spirits serve as guides to the afterlife. Max’s design process involves MidJourney, an AI app for artists, followed by work in Procreate. The colors and patterns mirror the restaurant’s interior decor, with a focus on color theory to create harmony and balance. The entryway pieces are still a work in progress, with plans for murals in the interior and exterior at a later date.


 
Delaine Hackney: Delaine creates custom mosaic art for commercial/public, residential and portraiture clients. Made with ceramic, glass and found objects, since 2004, Delaine’s work is known for its precision setting and whimsical style. Shopper Girl and Hummingbird with Torch were both commissioned by Bay Street Emeryville in 2006 in conjunction with SZFM Design San Fransisco. Designed to entice shopping, Shopper Girl carries a satchel of fresh fish and offers a bouquet of flowers to her larger-than-life love, her dog. The dog, however, is more interested in the fish, as evidenced by the trail of scent from the desired loot, looping and swirling in mirror glass, making its way to the dog’s nose. This mosaic can be appreciated from a distance when driving by in a car. This piece is 2 panels, each 10′ x 20′ made from ceramic, glass, misc. found objects. Hummingbird with Torch pays homage to the Ohlone people, who were natives to the land where the shopping mall was built upon. An Ohlone legend claims that the Hummingbird first delivered fire. The design was created to be seen from a distance, while driving past on a busy road. The details can also be appreciated up close and, as with all mosaic art, can be touched. This piece is 10’x12′ made of ceramic & glass.


 
HYBYCOZO: HYBYCOZO is the collaborative studio of artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk. Based in Los Angeles, their work consists of larger than life geometric sculptures, often with pattern and texture that draw on inspirations from mathematics, science, and natural phenomena. Typically illuminated, the work celebrates the inherent beauty of form and pattern and represents their ongoing journey in exploring the myriad dimensions of geometry. HYBYCOZO is short for the Hyperspace Bypass Construction Zone, a nod to their favorite novel (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and was the title of their first installation in 2014. They continue to create under this name. For more information on artists Yelena Filipchuk and Serge Beaulieu and their art, please visit: https://www.hybycozo.com/


 
Ayşe Köker: Ayşe is an experienced Illustrator based in Turkey with proficiency in 2D motion and graphic design. They specialize in transforming conceptual ideas into dynamic visual content for social media platforms and web interfaces. This project for Saucy Asian in Emeryville aimed to blend Korean street and food culture with a USA aesthetic, reflecting their unique identity and expansion plans. Ayşe utilized Adobe Illustrator to create detailed illustrations, capturing Korean street vibes with specific cultural elements. These designs were seamlessly integrated into an animated web header, ensuring a dynamic online presence. Additionally, the web header design was then adapted into wall art, enhancing the restaurant’s exterior dining ambiance.

 

Nigel Sussman: Nigel Sussman is an Illustrator and Muralist based in Berkeley, CA. Nigel creates complex isometric murals and illustrations. He can often be found painting pictures of giant cats or flying food. The detail is all done by hand and with a lighthearted sense of humor that keeps you looking, and smiling. Bold, bright and complex, Nigel’s signature style uses isometric line-art and a striking but simple color palette, creating seek-and-find type illustrations that feature complex fantasy architecture and/or imaginary machines. There’s all kinds of activity going on in Nigel’s work and it’s no surprise to find that his influences include Martin Handford (creator of Where’s Waldo?), MC Escher and the original SimCity computer games. His mural inside of Philz Coffee on Bay Street depicts a stylized map of the East Bay with giant coffee cups.

Lily Therens: Lily Therens is an art director, designer & illustrator based in Sacramento, CA. She specializes in design, branding, custom merchandise and illustrations for Bars, Restaurants & Hospitality Industry. She loves to pair illustration and design to help elevate and individualize a brand or look for her clients. The vast mural inside Tipsy Putt, which spans the entire back wall and into the main restrooms, gives a nod to Emeryville’s history and its place within Alameda County and the Bay Area.

 

Kayleen Berry: Kayleen Berry (B.1994) is a Puerto Rican artist who is based in both rural Pennsylvania and Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. Berry relocated to California in 2012 to pursue studies in textiles and graphic design at the California College of the arts. She decided to take a different path after receiving her BFA in textiles in 2017 and later shifted her focus to painting on large-scale canvases. Her detailed line work, whether on canvas or paper, is emotionally charged; it is composed of intricately illustrated animals in a dream-like setting, toying with the concept of her subconsciousness. Her surrealist and escapist style is bold and expressive, challenging her perception of reality. Her palette is comprised of saturated and ethereal hues, inspired by dreamscape landscapes.

Temescal Teardrop

What is the inspiration behind this piece?
“You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the ocean in a drop” – Rumi. This quote by Rumi was the inspiration for the sculpture. Located near Temescal Creek, water is a powerful symbol of change and transformation. The droplet shape was inspired by the idea of small, individual actions contributing to larger environmental and societal changes, echoing the community’s efforts towards sustainability and progress.

How is this piece responsive or representative to the Emeryville community and what will it bring to the Emeryville community?
For the community, we hope that the sculpture represents clarity and reflection. The sculpture and the mirror droplet inside can be seen as a metaphor for the community’s ongoing growth and transformation, reflecting the positive changes and rejuvenation occurring in Emeryville.

Abstract by JMikal Davis

Bay Street Emeryville commissioned Brooklyn-based artist JMikal Davis for these two murals, which guide guests from our garage into our newly redesigned Bay Break Dining Terrace (on the upper level) and our newly reimagined Plaza (on the lower level). According to JMikal Davis, “what I responded to when creating this piece is the architecture of the space. The architectural elements such as the light-based angles were heavily incorporated into the design. For this piece at Bay Street Emeryville, I get to play with the architecture a bit and subvert it in a way visually that changes it a bit. Bay Street Emeryville has amazing floor to ceiling sweeping angles that set emotion and provide direction to be able to take the space in and then twist it. My work is a lot about motion and movement and so is the Emeryville community. It’s constantly changing, and this work is a metaphor for that.” This piece includes close to 20 colors. It’s a balancing act in using darker tones which overall will convey a happy cheery vibe. In this piece, we hope people to find happiness, joy and excitement as you’re entering the new Bay Street Emeryville.

Spare the Air by Maxfield Bala

Mural by San Francisco Muralist Maxfield Bala. In partnership with the Bay Area Air Quality Management district, Bay Street Emeryville was thrilled to welcome San Francisco Muralist, Maxfield Bala to create this large-scale mural painting, beautifying the Bay Street Campus while also supporting the Spare the Air campaign. The Air District’s goal is to keep the air for Bay Area residents safe, by encouraging alternative options to single car trips. A cause which is of shared important to the city of Emeryville and CenterCal Properties. In the end, we landed on a colorful design paying homage to the relationship of public transit’s ability to create a cleaner environment friendly to the Bay Area’s natural habitats and wildlife. This included the feature of active modes of transportation like bike riding, cycling and electric scooter riding along with more traditional modes like the bus or train. The mural took three weeks to complete and spans 110′ wide and over 13′ tall and was clear coated with an anti-graffiti coating to have it outlast the elements. The mural is a permanent installation in Emeryville, California and was painted by our lead muralist, Maxfield Bala in conjunction with our mural team.
