This piece captures a massive, festive street parade commemorating the grand reopening and return of San Francisco's iconic cable cars after a massive 2-year, $60 million system renovation program. Rendered in Kent's signature whimsical, high-detail folk-pop art style, the piece utilizes up to 90 vibrant colors. Crowds gather around a cable car turntable, packed with celebratory citizens and festive balloons. A central cable car glides down the steep incline, flanked by dramatic streams of light and a massive parade stretching deep into the background. The painting accurately integrates key San Francisco landmarks into the cityscape, including Union Square, the St Francis Hotel and the Mark Hopkins Hotel. A vibrant fireworks display illuminates the night sky directly above the street canyon.
