Michael McPheeters, also known as MARX ONE, is a multifaceted contemporary artist, activist and graffiti writer, living and working in Opelika, AL. Originally from Los Angeles, he grew as a street artist and a scenic painter in the film industry. During the day his work is tailored to meet the needs of his clients, ranging from movie sets to children’s rooms. His large-scale works, most notably expressed by countless murals, act as spatial monuments and testaments to his ability to transform an area. As a street artist, Michael continues to use graffiti’s growing power as a visual mass communicator to raise awareness of human issues, with his recent focus on modern-day-slavery.
