Artist: Gaia

A recent art-school graduate and pretty new to the scene, Gaia delivers an incredible rendition of Florida tycoon Henry Flagler. Gaia commented,

“I don’t do these murals as celebrations, but I do them to reopen up the book of history and investigate these people in a setting that is specific to their legacy. I think it’s interesting to have their portrait in a place they shaped, so that their responsibility becomes apparent—so that you can have a face to the name.”

Truly dope piece exhibiting incredible levels of skill. Gaia is sure to be a name to watch in the future, check out some more of his work here.
