Ava Maria
Artists: El Mac & Retina
Downtown Salt Lake City
In an alley between a gun shop and a pizza place
One of my favorite works of street art
"Ave Maria,” aka the Madonna Mural
158 E. 200 South
Gender and religious diversity inspired this mural on the east side of the Guthrie Building in downtown SLC. As ornate and colorful as stained glass, “Ave Maria” occupies the upper right-hand corner of the brick building’s east side. It was commissioned by Corey Bullough, owner of Fice Gallery, which is housed there. A fan of religious iconography, Bullough felt that female figures were underrepresented in Salt Lake City. He charged international street artists El Mac and Retna with righting that wrong, and the duo completed the piece in February 2010 (cityweekly.net)
