Canadian/Brooklynian street artist Li-Hill revisits the mural format periodically in between making sculptural installations on the street and in gallery settings, tackling the occasional residency, formal painting exhibition, perhaps the odd commercial job. This year, for World Environment Day, he lent his talent to GreenPoint Innovations to create a work focusing on climate change and food systems instability.
Using his language of transmuting forms progressing along a visual timeline, here Li-Hill slightly alters the faces of local kids to preserve their anonymity and captures the forms in kinetic movement from left to right.
“Featuring Brooklyn’s youth, this mural champions the leading role that young people play ensuring a more sustainable future, ” say @GreenPoint.EARTH organizers.
