Travis Scott – Utopia, Circus Maximus
2024
Location: Players’ Tunnel
In anticipation of Travis Scott’s Utopia – Circus Maximus concert at Eden Park, artist Matt Griffin was commissioned to create a street art mural of the rapper in the stadium’s Players’ Tunnel.
Matt’s vision was to capture the spirit of the tour and Travis Scott’s larger-than-life presence as both a creator and visionary. The mural features Travis with his hand extended, engulfed in vibrant blue flames—an homage to his nickname, La Flame, a force of innovation and change. The flames, akin to a superhuman power, symbolise his relentless drive to push the boundaries of art and culture. His intense gaze, framed by futuristic shades, communicates not just confidence, but a focus on shaping the future.
As Matt explains, The addition of classical architectural elements like the towering pillar against a backdrop of cosmic skies symbolises the merging of timelessness with the futuristic world that Travis envisions. This links directly to his Utopia tour, where the past, present, and future converge in an idealised world that blends technology with human creativity.
The mural’s interactive nature allows viewers to stand before it, making it appear as though Travis Scott is reaching out to grab them, drawing them into his utopian vision. The moon and clouds behind him heighten the ethereal atmosphere, making his presence feel as though it transcends the mural itself, pulling the audience into a limitless, innovative future.
The piece now is now permanently etched on the walls of Eden Park, in a celebration of Travis Scott’s October 2024 performance at Eden Park.
