Detroit Chimera Graffiti Mural, Public mural at Russell Industrial Center, Detroit, United States.
The Detroit Chimera Graffiti Mural is a large-scale artwork on the western wall of the Russell Industrial Center. The painting depicts a mythological creature decorated with Detroit sports team imagery and covers a vast wall surface.
The mural was created by artist Kobie Solomon between 2010 and 2012 and became Michigan's largest painted surface. Its creation required sustained artistic effort over many months.
The mural combines symbols from Detroit's four major sports teams with a mythological chimera, showing how sports and art connect in the city. This blend of team icons and mythical creature reflects what matters to many people living here.
The artwork is located on Clay Street at the Russell Industrial Center, easily accessible from downtown Detroit. Visitors should plan to visit during daylight hours to see the details and colors of the work in good lighting.
The artwork integrates mechanical elements and sports symbols in an unusual way, making the chimera appear as a complex figure. A particular detail is how mythological imagery weaves together with modern urban elements.
