“MAHANA”

by Hula

Born on the eastside of Oahu, Sean Yoro spent most of his time surfing until he discovered graffiti and tattoo art in his late teens. After taking a community college drawing class Yoro moved to Brooklyn and working as Hula he honed his fine art skills. Hula was soon merging his art and childhood love of being on the water, working from a paddleboard creating his trademark works emerging from the water on sides of ships, docks, and walls. For the 2016 edition of the flagship Pow!Wow! festival in Kaka’ako, Honolulu, Hula was back on Oahu painting “mahana” [warmth] on dry land for a change. This portrait of Hawaiian photographer Brooke Dombroski, aka @brooklynhawaii, was painted on Keawe St at @SALTOurKakaako, part of a very different kind of urban project, @OurKakaako, founded by Kamehameha Schools and committed to culturally appropriate development.  @the_hula/  @powwowworldwide

Artist Sean Yoro has been free-diving to paint underwater murals on artificial coral reefs. Yoro grew up surfing on Oahu, Hawaii, and he would sometimes dive under the waves to peek at coral reefs and look at the teeming clusters of colorful organisms found there. When he returned as an adult, after studying as an artist in New York, the same reefs appeared haggard, drained of life. “I had heard about all the devastating changes going on with the reefs, especially the coral bleaching, and it turned out that the majority of coral on Oahu was dying permanently,” Yoro told Global Citizen. “It didn’t even resemble what I had seen growing up,” he said. “That was the start of the project, and this journey into this whole new world.” The project Yoro soon embarked on is called “Deep Seads,” and it seeks to reconceptualize art’s relationship to nature and the power of art as activism. Deep Seads consists of three underwater murals painted on artificial reefs made out of concrete and metal, painted with materials that are safe for marine life to be around.

Under the Bridge at Lake Worth, FL While visiting Lake Worth, l took a walk along the intercoastal at Bryant Park at the edge of the city. It’s a beautiful area with lots of birds early in the morning. I came across this painting under the bridge. This mural was painted by Sean Yoro (also known as HULA) during the 2017 Canvas Art Festival.
