Giants

**Style:** Fantastical figurative muralism on an industrial megascale. OSGEMEOS transformed six concrete silos on Granville Island into towering dream-figures for the Vancouver Biennale in 2014. Each painted silo reads like a vertical character study, with the duo's signature yellow-skinned, melancholic, playful people stretched across cylindrical forms. The work is immersive rather than frontal: it wraps around industrial architecture instead of merely covering a flat wall. The setting is part of the experience. Boats, market traffic, workshops, and False Creek water give the mural a working-waterfront atmosphere that contrasts beautifully with the brothers' surreal imagery. It is one of those rare public artworks that feels both joyous and slightly uncanny, turning heavy infrastructure into a family of giant presences watching over the harbor.
