Community Canvas is an initiative presented by The Culture Show where GBH features artwork from community members on our Digital Mural.
Today’s mural features the oil painting, Rush Hour, by Arnie Casavant. His artist catalogue showcases Boston’s public transportation system in several paintings. He attempts to highlight the hustle and bustle usually associated with commuting.
“Sunlight always plays an important part in my compositions as one can see in Rush Hour,” Casavant says. “I hope to show the 'T’ in a different light, so to speak.”
Casavant graduated from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, courtesy of the G.I. Bill. He was an art instructor and department chair at Oliver Ames High School in Easton, Massachusetts, for 30 years. After retiring, he continued teaching at Northeastern University’s Professional Development Institute. View Casavant’s artwork at his gallery space in Boston’s SOWA Arts District, Studio 222 at 450 Harrison Ave.
