GEORGE WASHINGTON
by Madsteez
In June, 1775, a year before it took up the issue of drafting a Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress appointed George Washington as Commander in Chief of the Continental Army. Following the victory of the fledgling nation Washington was unanimously elected by the electoral college to serve as its first president. Growing up on the outskirts of Washington DC, Mark Paul Deren, aka Madsteez, overcame being born blind in one eye to develop a global reputation for his “vivid, large-scale, multi-layered paintings, where strange and familiar figures are integrated into abstract landscapes.” Returning to the city of his childhood for the Pow!Wow! Washington DC 2017 festival, Madsteez created this unique Florida Ave. portrait of the man eulogized as “first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” @madsteez @powwowdc

“ALONZO MOURNING”
by Madsteez
USA Today high school player of the year in 1988, Alonzo Mourning played college ball for Georgetown, then in 1992 he was the second player drafted, right behind Shaq. Despite being temporarily sidelined for a kidney transplant, he enjoyed a 15-year career in the NBA, winning a championship in 2006 with the Miami Heat. In 2009 he was the first player to have their number retired by the Heat. Mourning and his charitable foundation have made huge impact on education in South Florida so it’s only appropriate that in late 2014 when the RAW Project first gathered artists to transform the Jose de Diego Middle School in Wynwood, Madsteez, aka Mark Paul Deren, was asked to paint this even-larger-than-life tribute. With the decline in arts education across the country in recent years, the donation of 38 murals by Madsteez and other highly respected artists helped first-year principal, Dr. April Thompson Williams, revive the schools arts programming. @madsteez @therawproject_ @wynwoodmiami @scenesfromthesidewalk
