He was 60.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cMichael Roman, after long suffering from many health challenges, died with dignity and grace, in my arms, as I held him and prayed that his journey would be full of love,\u201d said artist Kate Rosenberger, who announced Roman\u2019s passing. \u201cHe struggled for many years with the light and dark in the world, and in his soul now he is at peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">As news of his death spread, Roman\u2019s spirit was resurrected online with mourners from around the world sharing their memories rich in stories and imagery, marking the loss of a major creative force.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Roman was an artist propelled by a sacred madness for beauty, who pioneered a \u201cpunk Latino wild style.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cHe drew a great and jagged arch across the Mission that connected the visually generous and hugely inventive political art of Latin America with the dire and immediate street art of urban America,\u201d said artist Patrick Piazza. \u201cAlthough he was under-recognized \u2026 Michael\u2019s work was so ubiquitous in the Mission that many people had no clue about who he was or what a huge contribution he made to the art milieu that makes the Mission what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Born and raised in Whittier, California, Roman moved to New York City\u2019s Lower East Side in the early 1980s. He quickly became a stencil graffiti legend, a fixture in the exploding downtown art and club scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">As a bicycle messenger, he met renowned artist Andy Warhol while delivering transparencies and joined the crowd at Warhol\u2019s studio, The Factory. Roman made art with luminaries such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and David Wojnarovich. He made designs for Betsey Johnson and Kate Spade, and exhibited work at venues such as Gracie Mansion, Ground Zero, Bruno Fracetti and B-Side. He was featured in magazines such as \u201cRed Tape\u201d and \u201cPaper.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32586\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32586\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Michael-Roman_02web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32586\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Michael-Roman_02web.jpg?resize=350%2C884&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"350\" height=\"884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Michael-Roman_02web.jpg?w=390&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 390w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Michael-Roman_02web.jpg?resize=99%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 99w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Michael-Roman_02web.jpg?resize=190%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 190w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32586\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Roman. Courtesy: Linda Wilson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p5\">His breakthrough moment came in 1985 when he designed the skull motif for Madonna in her film \u201cDesperately Seeking Susan.\u201d Although he wasn\u2019t fully credited until years later, the design helped set the stage for Madonna\u2019s style and is now considered one of Roman\u2019s signature works.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Roman\u2019s genius was a free falling universe of audacious images and ideas, where sweet courtships meet fierce gods and sex goddesses dance with vipers in his underground world of monsters and marvels. His imaginative mixture of traditional symbols and off-register silkscreen, deliberately clashing hot and sweet hues to make a surreal mash-up of modern life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cI instinctively use background patterns because I worked in fashion in New York. It\u2019s almost like a pinball game,\u201d he said. \u201cYou make it light up. It\u2019s how you make it different every time. I have been blessed to work with Carlos Santana and get to play this game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Santana was a close friend and patron since 1989 when he hired Roman to work at the Mission Cultural Center and relocated him to San Francisco. Their long creative relationship yielded signature costumes, sets and album covers, including Santana\u2019s 1992 album, \u201cMilagro.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cI like to be contemporary and raw, honoring the traditions and rebelling,\u201d Roman often said. \u201cI love to work in Oaxaca where art reflects the land, very red and brown, like in a Mexican church or a shaman cave. I know how to make inks rise\u2014get a surface going.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">For Roman, no surface was safe. Upon moving to San Francisco, he became a major contributor to the Mission street art culture, his distinctive themes including milagro eyes, turtles, and mermaids on construction fences, posters, fashion and most famously the Frida Kahlo pizza boxes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cI met Michael Roman in 1994 in the Mission Cultural Center when he had just arrived from New York,\u201d artist Calixto Robles said. \u201cHe printed on anything, with those bold stencil cut outs that only he could do. He was wildly creative and always was producing work. It is an honor to have met him and I will miss him.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32578\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32578\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Michael-Roman_04web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32578\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Michael-Roman_04web.jpg?resize=350%2C467&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"350\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Michael-Roman_04web.jpg?w=720&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Michael-Roman_04web.jpg?resize=600%2C800&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Michael-Roman_04web.jpg?resize=188%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 188w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Michael-Roman_04web.jpg?resize=360%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32578\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Colored pencil portrait of Michael Roman by Jane Diaz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p5\">Roman was a featured artist at the deYoung Museum series \u201cMission Muralismo\u201d and his art is highlighted in the 2009 book, \u201cStreet Art San Francisco: Mission Muralismo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">In his final days, a diverse creative community of silkscreen artists, poets, writers, humanitarians, organizers and neighbors came to visit, surrounding the beloved artist in appreciation. And despite the holidays, a large circle of caregivers came together to take care of Michael and help his compa\u00f1era Kate. Social media buzzed from the Lower East Side to Oaxaca with the lagrimas of his friends and fans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">In tribute, San Francisco Poet Laureate Alejandro Murguia called Roman \u201cone of the most outstanding, productive and original artists working in San Francisco at the moment. His work combines overlapping ancient motifs from many cultures, such as India with Pre-Columbian patterns, in a style that is visually stunning and contemporary, creating a template that few artists can match.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cThere will be no more Roman shirts to cover our backs,\u201d said photographer and friend Linda Wilson, who added that \u201cmany in the Mission and beyond believe Michael is dancing with his angels, the demons left behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">There will also be no more tapestries of milagros, heroes, saints and sinners, icons and iconoclasts, so covet the precious Romans you have, now talismans of dreams and memories.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cMichael Roman painted an insurrection by re-ordering and projecting the cosmos in a riot of intense color,\u201d Piazza said. \u201cHe populated the heavens with the most vulnerable among us and created a burlesque out of the stated order of things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\"><i>A celebration for Michael Roman will be held Friday, Feb. 17, 2017, at St. John Coltrane Memorial Church, located at 2097 Turk Street in San Francisco.
