The Office: The Story of Us
‘The Office’ is a critically acclaimed sitcom that takes place in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and brings to light humor within the seemingly mundane, the day-to-day moment-to-moment interactions of everyday people. Hagopian Arts created the only official mural of 'The Office: The The Story of Us,’ a project of Scranton Tomorrow, supported by Peacock, NBC, and Universal Studios. With this mural Hagopian Arts' captures the timeless nature of the show, rendering the subtleties of each character while highlighting some of the most hilarious and noteworthy moments of the show within the colorful geometric pattern. With the authorization of the 17 actors depicted, their portraits were painted with a highly defined fine art aesthetic. The black and white portraits are juxtaposed with a colorful geometric pattern containing illustrations that symbolize hilarious and noteworthy quotes, themes, and moments of the show. The Electric City sign is also prominently featured in the center of the mural, a strong visual affinity with the show's hometown of Scranton, PA. This celebratory mural is an ideal artistic platform to uphold and document the legacy of the hit TV show “The Office."
