Artist Chris Clark’s latest painting of a young Black boy with locs in his hair gazing out in a field is a symbol in the Eastside community meant to represent youth and lift them up.
“I’m a firm believer that representation matters. I want the community, young people, especially, to see themselves in a positive light,” Clark said.The mural is on the corner of Pippin Street and A Philip Randolph Blvd. People who passed by as Clark added the finishing touches to the mural called it “beautiful” and “perfect.”
“It makes me feel promising. It does something for this area and this spot right here,” Jimmy Mack said.
