Abovegroup Ogilvy x Wendell McShine : Art Connect by Kibwe Brathwaite
If you have been passing on the Eastern Main Road on your daily commute, and been wondering what in the world is that huge abstract painting on the wall of CGA, opposite Success Laventille Secondary School, never fear, it’s not the vandals.
The large piece was done by Trinidad born artist Wendell McShine as a part of his Art Connect initiative, co-ordinated by Abovegroup Ogilvy.
Art Connect is an urban art project, where the students of Success Laventille Secondary School, together with McShine embark on a series of dynamic highly creative community murals in an on going visual dialogue on the walls of Laventille donated by Coconut Growers Association (CGA).
I went out with Mc Shine this week to capture the process of creating this stunning mural. It is the first of many pieces to be done on that space in the coming weeks.
