East End River Mural

Clinton Drive and Jensen Drive, Houston, TX

This mural features the bayou, bluebonnets, beehives and a space city astronaut. It was inspired by the surrounding Historic Fifth Ward and East End neighborhoods. The mural is large, covering six stacked shipping containers. You can find it easily from Clinton Drive or Jensen Drive. At 60’x20, the East River mural marks the artist’s largest work to-date. Touching on the ideas of personal home, culture and history, this mural represents the merging components within East River’s carefully designed, multiphase, mixed-use development. Mosaic tiles, beehives promoting sustainability and wellness, and an astronaut nodding to Houston’s strong ties with NASA are all included in the intricately detailed piece. Following a months-long design process, Maldonado spray-painted the mural on-site at East River over a two-week period, using six shipping containers as his canvas.
