Watch Robert Vargas in Action

Contemporary LA based artist Robert Vargas will be painting several murals on The Kinney hotel as an ode to the rich artistic and cultural influence Venice has had on the world. Beginning with a massive wall on the north exterior of the hotel, Vargas will paint legendary skateboarder Tony Alva who revolutionized skateboarding in the late 70’s and is one of the most influential skateboarders of all-time. Alva will be on hand during part of the creation of this mural to model for Vargas’ celebrated freehand approach beginning at 4p.

On the second wall which will be visible from Washington Blvd, Vargas will bring to life an image of the Doors founding member, guitarist Robbie Krieger, to be debuted in early 2017.
