The work, which is a combination of a mural and a neon sign that matches the fa\u00e7ade of the building, harmonises with the lines of the fa\u00e7ade and the colour palette of this part of the shopping centre. The large-format composition consists of overlapping geometric forms in black, white and shades of blue, and a highlight in the form of an orange line. In the centre of the composition is a neon sign in the form of the Forum Gda\u0144sk logo, which lights up in blue. A parallel neon sign is located in the immediate vicinity of Seikon\u2019s mural, on the glass wall above the building entrance. This is not the only work of art to be found in the Forum Gda\u0144sk space. Seikon\u2019s mural is distinguished by its street art nature.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Place:<\/strong> Forum Gda\u0144sk was established on the site of Gda\u0144sk\u2019s historic trading places, namely Targ Sienny (the Hay Market) and Targ Rakowy (the Crayfish Market).
