Twitchell ('77, MFA) , one of the most respected and recognized outdoor urban muralists in the world, Kent Twitchell has changed the visual landscape of Los Angeles with his large scale photorealist portraits. One of his largest commissions, a nine-story portrait of the L.A. Chamber Orchestra, towers over the Harbor Freeway in downtown L.A. A 35-foot high mural in Philadelphia depicts the basketball hero Julius Erving.
