      The OEV Main Street Mural Program has the aim of building community and beautifying the Old East Village neighbourhood. This program pairs five artists together for a total of five murals.

      The program aims to facilitate new artist partnerships and mentorship opportunities. The mural installations were an integral part of the community events series, Only in OEV Fridays, which happens every second Friday in Old East Village. The high-profile and visible mural locations expand upon the existing public art found in Old East Village, creating art attractions for residents and visitors alike to enrich the experience of the neighbourhood.?

      The OEV Mural Mentorship Program was supported by Fed Dev Ontario and My Main Street through the Community Activator Program.

       

      ABOUT THE MURAL

      The mural at Vietnam Restaurant painted by Pamela Scharback and Andres Garzon celebrates the beauty of both Canada and Vietnam. Vietnam Restaurant owner, Lam Ngo, wished to convey an “East meets East” theme that celebrates what he loves about both Vietnam and Old East Village. The mural has hops found in craft beer to pay homage to the craft breweries in the neighbourhood as well as traditional Vietnamese elements, such as the figure dressed in traditional garments on a water buffalo, lanterns and a map of Vietnam on the far-left panel.

    About The Artists


    Pamela Scharback

    Pamela Scharback is an artist who seems to change mediums a lot. She used to be a ceramicist (and maybe still is) but primarily works as a commercial mural artist. She also does commissioned portraits but finds that she changes a lot. From work in laser and cnc machined wood to wax and latex, miniatures and more, she loves messing with found objects and creating something unique.

    One thing you love to do or a place you must visit in London?
    One thing I would do in London is to check out 100 Kellogg Lane. They are making a very cool space over there.

     

    Andrés Garzon

    Andrés Garzon Espitia is a queer Colombiano-canadian multidisciplinary artist, based in Treaty 6 Territory, London township, Ontario. A new generation artist and first-generation immigrant, the central parts of his practice – history, family, love and identity – inform his artwork and writing practices. Through drawing, painting and installation, his work explores queer experience and the many ways it overlaps with cultural assimilation. Andres’ artwork and writings have been featured in CBC News, Femme Art Review and Huron & Erie Regional Digest. He is a current resident artist at Good Sport Gallery & Studio.
