“This piece of artwork was commissioned by CRJI through the ‘Communities In Transition’ programme.
“Located in the Barrack area the abstract mural is a beautiful floral scene.
“Replacing unsightly graffiti, residents have been delighted with the end product having been consulted throughout.
“It is vitally important that we as a community work to improve people’s quality of life and there is certainly scope for further developments of this nature.
“Other public displays of artwork locally have been respectfully treated and there is no doubt that this latest installation is another welcome improvement to the New Lodge area.”
