Cosmic Fusion is a unique public artwork, commissioned in response to planned modification of the façade holding the collaborative artwork Culture Fusion by Ricardo Duffy and Richard Wyatt.

For Cosmic Fusion, Mr. Duffy designed panels for the new flanking walls. His ceramic medallions of the Mesoamerican symbols, the flying heart, flaming torch, and raining cloud, iterate the painted symbols and float on a background of charcoal grout and rich brown granite. This, and the deep blue frame, compliment the paint palette of the garage interior. Collaborating artist Richard Wyatt reviewed and approved the site modifications and the new artwork.

Ricardo Duffy is a master ceramicist working in studio and public art arenas. His public art commissions include the Los Angeles Metro Blue Line Florence Station and the Ontario, CA International Airport. His exhibitions have been seen in museums and galleries across the United States and internationally. A truly international artist, he maintains studios in southern California and central America.
