Anyone who knows Philadelphia artist Isaiah Zagar will tell you that he is a storyteller at heart. His stories are told through the jagged and shimmering pieces of tile, glass and what some would consider garbage that he has arranged into large-scale mosaic masterpieces. For those who don’t know Zagar personally, they are likely to have seen his work. They can be found on over 200 public walls throughout the city and beyond – having recently finished the San Luis Potosi Mural Project in Mexico. His largest installation to-date is the eye-catching, Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens on South Street.
