Blake Reagan at The Speakeasy
Best Art Mural
Two years ago during the Eureka Street Art Festival, the façade of the Speakeasy bloomed with bright flowers around a singing woman’s profile. You’d be forgiven for thinking she’s Billie Holiday, with the vintage microphone and the white flower in her hair, but Blake Reagan’s mural “Diva’s Grace” depicts writer, singer and actress Nina Kristopherson performing as Lady Day. It suits the bar, with its updated take on vintage style.
Building and bar owner Karina Estrada requested Reagan, from whom she’s also commissioned work. “He’s so talented,” she says, “I’ve always been a huge fan of his work.”
Reagan says the piece was meant to “honor divas of old” and the win feels good. “I’m glad that the public is appreciative of public art like that.” While he isn’t painting anything for this year’s festival, keep your eye out for his in-progress murals at the Sequoia Park Zoo’s café, including one of the late Bill the chimp, as well as a patio mural at Phatsy Klines’s Parlor Lounge featuring “music and cats.”
