"Native Son (This Saint Flyod)” 2016, aerosol on stucco
Commissioned for The Manitou Art Center (The MAC)

a Los Angeles graffiti veteran artist
who began painting in the 1980s before relocating
to Colorado in the 1990s.
The mural depicts legendary and reclusive local artist
Floyd Tunson (born 1947), who had a retrospective at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center a couple years before

Tunson is a Colorado native who has been creating art in his Manitou Springs studio for over 30 years.
"It was a pleasure getting to know him, and I would consider him one of the most inspiring and interesting people I've met.
I recognize in him a deep love for creation, experimentation, and a certain shared philosophy that art and life are inseparable." -EL MAC

About EL MAC (Miles MacGregor):
An internationally renowned artist born and based in Los Angeles. He began painting both smaller indoor works as well as public murals and graffiti in Phoenix in the mid 1990s, and since that time has developed his unique visual aesthetic and rendering style which utilizes repeating contour patterns. His work draws on influences from classical European art, social realism, symbolism and devotional art, as well as the Chicano and Mexican culture he grew up around. He is best known for his meticulous paintings and large-scale murals exploring feminine beauty and honoring ordinary, overlooked, or marginalized people. He has been commissioned to paint all over the world, for museums, universities and other cultural institutions, including the Groeninge Museum (Belgium), San José Museum of Art (California), Northeastern University (Boston), University of California (San Diego), QAGoMA (Brisbane), Fondazione PRADA (Italy), and the Mexican secretariat of Foreign Affairs, as well as murals in Belgium, Cambodia, Cuba, Denmark, England, Germany, Ireland, Morocco, Puerto Rico, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, and Viet Nam. For over twenty years he has aimed "to uplift and inspire through careful, perfectionist renderings of both the sublime and the humble".
