"RELIGION GUARDS THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES"
by Ever
Like so many street artists Nicolás Romero, aka Ever, was into hip hop, skateboarding, and graffiti when he started painting on the streets of Buenos Aires, but five months studying in Paris changed his path dramatically. His painterly art often seems more like something you'd find in a gallery and while he prefers to paint ordinary people, @Graffitimundo says his style gives "importance to the inconsequential" and leaves viewers a sense of walls "imbued with an unintentional gravitas." “When people look at my portraits, sometimes they think there is something holy or they are a tribute," Ever told Buenos Aires Street Art. While that's not usually the case, when Ever found himself painting in the City of the Angels in 2013 it made sense to make something of an exception. This portrait of religion is at Zynderia Studios on Naud St. where Chinatown meets the Los Angeles River. @eversiempre
