Witness Art in Motion: The Longshoremen Mural Unveiled!

‍

Reginald O’Neal is a Miami based artist (b.1992) began painting in 2012. His friend and mentor Alejandro Dorda was the one to teach him classically. In 2014, O’Neal took a trip to Europe and completed murals in Austria, Norway, and Spain, as well as exhibited in a collective show alongside his teacher in Berlin, Germany. Since getting his start, O’Neal has grown to hone his craft and has focused on canvas work, residencies, and murals that embody his community surroundings, experiences and beliefs. Through his paintings, he reflects the complexity of the African - American experience in his hometown of Overtown using his community as inspiration, basing his paintings on original photographs, as well as personal and community narratives.
