Street Artist Hot Tea Transforms the Roosevelt Island Pool into a Colorful Canvas
Meghan Young — May 28, 2015 — Art & Design
The Roosevelt Island pool in New York City has been given a stunning face lift in the form of a rainbow floor. A beacon for residents and visitors alike this summer season, people may make the trip solely for the vibrant sight rather than the cooling waters themselves. After all, the rainbow floor is the optimal spot for Instagram photos.
It was created by street artist Hot Tea, who interacts "with public spaces non-destructively," as written on his Instagram profile. This rainbow floor is certainly the epitome of that telling sentiment. It brings more than a splash of color to the pool area -- it also brings a cheery disposition that would brighten up anyone's day.
