ATL MASKED MEN 2020 Art Show
26 paintings by @LordYatta and @DeltaTangoMike

Masked Men is an homage to a few of the men who’ve had an impact in our growth as artists, creatives, community members and those who continue to inspire the Arts Community with their work and passion.

With the Masked Men Art Exhibit, local ATL Artists Lord Yatta and DTM put mixed media to work on 26 portraits with a cultural twist that only these two artists can bring together: Azteca to Zulu.

Drawing from his Mexican Culture, figuratively and literally, DTM brings together his unique Azteca Moderno art style into portraits of some of ATL’s amazing members and the meaning and symbols of Aztec Mythology.

The portraits are painted in wood cutouts, specially cut by the hands of Lord Yatta, and arranged to shine the light on the good.

Whether artistically, community organizing , or simply being a good of example of a human.
Lets shine light on the good.

The idea was to paint some of the men we have influenced our art careers starting with my arrival in ATL back in 1994.

We have a super long list and had to narrow it down because we have come across a ton of great folks, community leaders, supporters, fellow artists, teachers, instructors and collaborators.

Lord Yatta and DTM narrowed down the list to 24, and we put together an artshow in February 2020 at Tri-Cities Tatto Company in East Point, GA, south of ATL.

My idea was to mix my Azteca Moderno theme with Hip Hop and find a few of the amazing Artists I have come across in the 20 plus years of my art career.

This group of creatives run the broad spectrum of what ATL has to offer:
Musicians, community leaders, rappers, digital artists, muralists, filmographers, educators, motivators, public speakers, fine artists and djs!

The art consists of a 16 x 16 inches Shadowbox style frame, acrylic paint and wood hand cut to almost a real life size! Big ups to Lord Yatta for securing the wood and cutting it down to size for this project.
