"Devon Ekundayo Duvea Reid, known simply as Ekundayo, is a Los Angeles-based artist and muralist whose work deals with the triumphs as well as the hardships of the human condition. Handled with a painterly sensitivity, his loose yet purposeful approach often leaves the viewer entranced in the subtle details of his work.
Ekundayo’s passion and desire to create started at a young age. Inspired by graffiti, hip-hop, jazz, and animation, he is especially influenced by the undeniably unique style that each possesses. It’s this culmination of interests that Ekundayo has channeled into his pieces, telling stories of his life and those that he meets during his journeys. Over the course of his career Ekundayo has been invited to travel the world and create murals in Mongolia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and of course the United States of America. He has also had the opportunity to have his works featured in the Pasadena Museum of California Art, the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, and the Akron Art Museum, and has been published in High Fructose Magazine, Juxtapoz Magazine, Walls and Frames: Fine Art from the Streets, and Virtuosos of Paint."
