Wendell McShine

Today I discovered the work of the brilliant young multimedia artist Wendell McShine. McShine’s artistic output mixes the harsh textures of street culture with unique blends of Caribbean and Mexican sensibilities. His vast body of work might be described as both political shamanism and mystical realism.

The videos below showcase two separate collections of work McShine put together a few years ago. Here is how Wendell describes the first:

There is a natural synchronicity, in Mexico referred to as “Mayan Timing”, that connects my latest body of work, “La Puerta Abierta” (The Open Door) and Sheldon's song “Prosper”. The coming together of our work in this special animated music video can be seen as an emotional out pouring of healing words and visuals stitching together the delicate fabric of the human condition and Trinidadian nationalism.
