Scarab Club Centennial, 2007
Artist:   Dennis Orlowski (b. 1944)
Medium: Acrylic on Plaster
Location: First floor, above main entrance/exit

Current Scarab Club Board member, Dennis Orlowski recently celebrated the club’s 100th year of existence by painting the above mural.   In doing so, Orlowski leaves a permanent gift for future generations to enjoy and joins previous Scarab muralists such as Sawyer and Honore.   Please view the mural in person and take in Orlowski’s successful trompe loie (to fool the eye) passages, such as his painted brickwork (painted illusion), which matches the building's surrounding and actual brickwork.
