In 2021, street artist Jamie Paul Scanlon (aka JPS) created a striking mural of Superman in the charming town of Lohr a. Main, Germany. Titled "Raising the Barn," the artwork features a larger-than-life depiction of the Man of Steel, lifting a barn high above his head against a breathtaking mountainous backdrop. The image is both awe-inspiring and whimsical, showcasing JPS's unique artistic flair.
JPS is known for his wide-ranging style that blends pop culture references with lifelike portrayals of horror movie characters, clever wordplay, and dynamic compositions. His murals often feature oversized creatures like dinosaurs, tiny micro stencils, and striking placements that catch the eye of passersby. His work is not just limited to Germany but various other countries as well including the UK, Norway, Spain, and the USA.
The "Raising the Barn" mural, with its bold and imaginative theme, adds a touch of superhero magic to Lohr a. Main and can be found off Grabenstraße (Graben Street), next to the basketball courts at Grundschule Lohr Elementary School. This vibrant piece of street art brings color and creativity to the area, making it a must-see for locals and visitors alike.
With this mural, JPS continues to build a reputation for his ability to blend humor, pop culture, and stunning visuals in ways that surprise and delight viewers across the world.
