A VIBRANT NEW MAN ONE MURAL COMMISSIONED BY
A PATRON OF THE ARTS, LIVENS UP A WESTSIDE CORRIDOR.
February 27, 2015 (Los Angeles, CA) -- Fans and appreciators of Urban Art are enjoying a new Westside mural by world renowned graffiti artist Man One. The L.A. native recently completed 'INNERGALACTIC: City of Angels' on the exterior of Contempo Floor Coverings, Inc., located at 1888 S. Sepulveda Blvd., between Santa Monica and West Olympic. In business since 1976, this is their second showroom, the flagship is located in Brentwood, CA.
The co-owner of the floor covering company and commissioner of the new mural is, David Haloossim. For him, the personal significance of the dynamic 13" x 20" aerosol beauty represents freedom, sincerity, and vision. The public art piece is quickly becoming a connector between the community, daily commuters and his custom floor covering showroom. Contempo Floor Coverings, Inc. is frequently recognized as the first in Los Angeles to offer Eco-Friendly flooring products, including a vast selection of Hardwood flooring, Carpet, Stone & Tile, Area Rugs and more.
In addition to being a well respected authority on Green Flooring, Mr. Haloossim is also a prominent supporter of all forms of art, especially murals. In his words he states: "I have great appreciation for "Man One's "flying angel" and the intuitive way he, as an artist, was able to reflect my feelings about the importance of the environment, and also reveal the positive and very powerful energy that art in unexpected places creates." He also feels he would not have achieved the same results if he went with a different artist.
Man One and David Haloossim
The artist, Man One, is known worldwide for his vibrant portraits, other-worldly abstract beings, specialized graffiti writing and characters, on walls and as private commissions in many residences.
