A new mural is underway at 326 Rockaway Avenue, an affordable housing development in Brownsville, Brooklyn. Artist Victor “Marka27” Quiñonez has begun painting King of Love, a 150-foot work that will be permanently installed on the side of the new building.
The mural is being created as a result of ArtBridge’s ongoing initiative to transform construction sites into public art displays. Its centerpiece, a crowned young boy, represents empowerment, and is surrounded by imagery such as boxing gloves, Caribbean flags, and nods to hip hop icons M.O.P. and Duck Down Records. It is expected to be completed in approximately three weeks.
