“THE MOTHER CREATOR II”
by El Mac and Aise Born
Putting some serious time, soul and energy out there for the people. Striving to create good public art in these strange, troubled times. —El Mac
Mac says this fresh work just off of Adams near Crenshaw in Los Angeles is a companion work to ‘La Mère Créatrice’, painted in Montreal in 2016. Mac’s “homage to feminine creative force” is a tribute to artistic mothers: from the influence of his mother on his career, to his mother-in-law who recently passed away, to the figure in this mural “Jane Choe, the fiery artistic mother of my friend David Choe.” Collaborating with Mac on this wall was his talented young UTI crewmate, Aise Born, who added what Mac refers to as the “Alphonse Mucha-inspired acrylic embellishment on the halo designs.” One quickly runs out of superlatives to describe El Mac’s work, but El Mac and Aise have created something truly special. @mac_arte @aiseborn
