Video | El Mac at the Montana Factory, Barcelona

elmacbarca 540x308 Video | El Mac at the Montana Factory, Barcelona

In November, we brought you the images of El Mac’s work at the Montana Factory in Barcelona Spain. Today, Mac released this awesome wide format video on his blog. The video was made by Popcranc, who issued the following statement about the vid:

From the very start, when we had the opportunity to speak with Mac and find out more about his work, we decided to center the video idea not on the mural process, but on the style and inspiration of the author. The suggestive image of the girl which he painted really reminded us of Andy Warhol’s screen tests, and the simple details characteristic of Jean-Luc Godard’s Anna Karina. So we threw ourselves into the project, playing with that inspiration. The main thing was to use the dramatic combination of black and white, just as Mac did with his piece. We had a great time during the whole process with Mac, Ari, and Kim, and hope that they’ll come back to Barcelona soon. Many thanks to Montana for the opportunity!

Peep the video after the jump.

This mural decorates the front of Sàn Art, an independent artist space just outside the offices of The Propeller Group in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam. It is based on a photo of Kosoom, the grandmother of artist El Mac’s girlfriend.

All of the photographs included in the clip were taken by El Mac. Part of his process is documenting the people and places he choses to work. As such, the video serves not just as a reveal of his painting in Ho Chi Minh, but also as a way of expressing his artistic process.
