Among the many engaged spectators who watched Chor paint in Lapa, appeared "Mac". Mac really appreciated Chor's art and hired him to paint a beautiful mural inside his home the following day! Mac was instantly captivated and basically left the design up to Chor.
In two weeks I watched Chor paint a handful of walls, both alone and in collaboration with several Brazilian artists. To witness the whole process from start to finish was such a unique experience, and I felt very lucky being there! In the beginning I was always curious to know what the end product would be (7 hours later, haha) and I would ask him.. Chor never had an answer for me and I soon learned to let it be! That's the great thing about Chor's work, it is very spontaneous as is my photography so I can relate. The people on the streets also consistently asked the same question, and I would just reply "No one knows yet what it's going to be, not even Chor!"
Here is the piece Chor painted inside Mac's house in Ipanema.
