‘The Sea Keeper,’ a 196.2-m2 (2,112-sf) mural painted by street artists earlier this year on the CSL St-Laurent bulk carrier in Montreal, has been nominated for the 2017 International Corporate Art Awards.
The mural was commissioned by CSL Group to celebrate Montreal’s 375th birthday, Canada’s 150th birthday and the completion of 11 new, self-unloading carriers for Canadian and American fleets. It was painted by Beyung, Fonki, Ankh One and Benny Wilding.
“We were particularly impressed by the involvement of urban artists in the celebration of such important events,” says Luca Desiata, the awards’ curator. “This project represents the perfect integration between technical skills and artistic creativity.”
The awards ceremony will be held this November in Rome, Italy.
