Yesterday, artist Levi Ponce completed work on his latest mural featuring a portrait of Albert Einstein located behind the Magnolia Science Academy on Sherman Way in Reseda, California. This location is also noteworthy for the film “Boogie Nights” which was also filmed here.
Ponce is a rising San Fernando Valley artist who is best known for his series of murals also known as the Mural Mile in Pacoima.
The Einstein mural was a collaborative effort between Ponce, the Reseda Neighborhood Council and a San Fernando Valley art group calling itself “11:11 A Creative Collective” whose vision is to help the valley become a strong and independent artistic community
“Levi is without a doubt one of the most important artists in Los Angeles right now, “ said Kevin Taylor, chairman of the Reseda Neighborhood Council. “To have the opportunity to have him painting here in Reseda is a huge honor, and the murals that he’s leaving here are treasures.”
