Man One's Live Art Unites Downtown LA in Civic Pride
I recently took center stage during the exhilarating Los Angeles Kings playoff game 6, bringing a surge of LA Kings Fans to the Crypto.com Arena and surrounding Downtown LA. I was hired by the LA Kings to provide live art entertainment during their Fanfest event before game 6 of the NHL playoffs against the Edmonton Oilers.
I transformed a blank canvas into a vibrant mural symbolizing the hockey team's resilience and unwavering spirit. The piece showcased support for the LA Kings, inviting fans to contribute by writing messages on the interactive artwork. With a retro gold and purple KINGS graffiti design, fans eagerly joined in, forging a powerful connection between the team, their devoted supporters, and the city. This interactive art experience embodied downtown's unwavering spirit, merging sports, art, and civic pride in a vibrant celebration.
I had 3 hours to create the piece from start to finish. I had a great time painting for the Kings and the city of Los Angeles. One of the highlights of the day for me was raffling off a part of this piece I created to a lucky fan! The center of the panel had an unstretched canvas which was the part of the piece that was later raffled off.
