"A LOVE SUPREME (WYNWOOD SAINTS)"

by El Mac

"I know that there are bad forces, forces that bring suffering to others and misery to the world, but I want to be the opposite force. I want to be the force which is truly for good."  —John Coltrane

Mural great El Mac says "the creation of art can be, at its best, a spiritual vocation, a means of responding to the world in service of truth, beauty, and justice." Returning in 2019 to create his first mural in Miami in a decade, El Mac spent several arduous months creating perhaps the most visible wall of Wynwood, on the side of the new @Wynwood25_ development. Channeling the words of Coltrane Mac determined to honor the people and history of the community—ultimately selecting Mandolina, who runs a nearby community garden; Jamaii, a young ballet dancer; and a local Seminole boy Kyle, to portray the everyday saints of Wynwood.

"SHARED ROOTS (UNITY THREATENS INEQUITY)"

by El Mac

Growing up in South Central LA, familiar with the area's lack of fresh produce, Ron Finley says he knows what it's like to drive 45 minutes for a fresh tomato. Nine years ago Finley, aka the Gansta Gardener started planting the city-owned parkways as an act of protest and in the intervening years has become a community leader. At the beginning of 2019 internationally renowned LA artist Miles MacGregor, aka El Mac, created this labor of love at Washington Blvd and San Pedro St. Juxtaposed to the left of Finley in this carefully thought out statement about black–brown conflict in South Central and the shared challenges facing the communities in the face of a widening wealth-gap is Rigoberto Jimenez Oropeza who began his activism with the United Farm Workers many years ago after being exposed to pesticides in the California orange groves.  @mac_arte/  @ronfinleyhq/
