Jim Vision's most recent and huge artwork is located on the side of the Banglatown Cash and Carry, off Hanbury street in the heart of the east end of London. Though this is a personally led project Jim was advised by the shopkeeper that a piece that was somehow relevant to the local community would be gratefully received. And positively it’s been a situation where both an artist’s endeavour and the wishes of a wall owner coincide.
So it is that this new work, a piece highlighting man’s destruction of the natural environment, deforestation to make way for mass monoculture crops, is a sobering reminder that we must not forget our connection with the earth. The piece also features a holi man at it’s centre dividing the beauty of the natural world on the left with the destruction and fire on the right.
