BELIEVE/Visual Intervention from Ian Wilson on Vimeo.
Believe is a short documentary of a public art/mural project which took place in Rochester, New York in July 2011. The goal: to inspire the local community and communicate a positive message. Ian Wilson, co-founder of non-profit organisation The Synthesis Collaborative, brought the project to life and invited South African artists to participate. Cape Town’s Faith47, Mak1one, Freddy Sam and Dal were among the artists involved and several murals were painted.
Freddy Sam is back in the US - painting murals, exhibiting works and doing some sight-seeing.
He has already painted great stuff with international artists in New York and Rochester, and is currently in Portland. He is taking part in Living Walls which takes place next month in Atlanta.
Mak1one, Faith47 and Dal are also stateside and they too have been painting.
Check out some of the new works that Freddy Sam has done:
