“THREE SAINTS"
by Kiptoe
Relocating from New Hampshire to Los Angeles, Matt Dean, aka Kiptoe, decided to keep going and set a goal of painting murals around the world. Starting with South America he also began crafting a series of travel episodes documenting the murals and experiences for his growing base of followers. In 2017, back home in LA and supported by @TheGraffLab, Kiptoe took on his largest wall at the time, creating "Three Saints" on Burlington Ave and Washington Blvd in the Pico Union neighborhood just west of downtown. Kiptoe describes the work as the personification of: "Protection" keeping us safe from predators and hate through birth and adolescence; "Love" helping us discover and love ourselves so we can create heart-to-heart connections; and "Guidance" developed with wisdom through maturity and enabling us to soar. @kiptoe1/
