EL Mac, Busta, & Distort
(Left to Right) “RADAR,” Distort; Jersey City, NJ. “Monument of Love” 2024, El Mac in collaboration with Aise Born and Augustine Kofie; painted on the exterior of the Good Shepherd Manor in Leimert Park, Los Angeles, CA. “Music,” Busta; Billy Penn Studios, Philadelphia.
While El Mac completes a new mural in Philadelphia—working overnight for two weeks—the Los Angeles-based muralist known for his large-scale photorealistic portraits joins DISTORT and BUSTA for a conversation about process, influence, and what it means to paint in one of the most pivotal graffiti cities in the country. The discussion will be moderated by Phil Asbury, Director of Community Murals at Mural Arts Philadelphia. Please join us at Paradigm Gallery for this rare opportunity to hear from three artists who have each built distinguished practices on the street and beyond it.
