Yes, it's probably the biggest monumental-sized installation to date here in The New Urban Downtown Mesa at the City-owned Arts-and-Entertainment venue and international design award-winning Mesa Arts Center. Inspiring? . . . yes.
"Desert Rose” by El Mac takes its public space to new heights in the heart and central core of our vibrant regeneration of Creative Place Making. It is highly visible [rising more than 70 feet] starting below eye level from a distance where you are attracted to approach the artwork.
It's an optical beauty for sure: a woman with a rose at first impact is what you see, but what's the story in the creation of this huge artpiece on what used to be an empty wall? [see work-in-progress @ right]
Ever wonder about that when you might just pass it by?
"Desert Rose" was commissioned by the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum.
The artist is called El Mac.
Here's the the story published today in Street Art News.
The image is based on his photos of Karen Bracamonte, an immigrant from Guatemala who is married to one of his friends.
At the time of the reference shoot Karen was roughly seven months pregnant, so in a way, this painting depicts not only her but his soon-to-be godson.
As usual with the American street artist, he delivers an outstanding piece of work using his unique technique.
