Dispatch from Kingston: O'Neil Lawrence's 'Son of a Champion'


In July, Jamaican artist O'Neil Lawrence unveiled his latest works at an exhibition entitled, 'Son of a Champion' at the Mutual Gallery at Kingston, Jamaica.

It seems fitting to share these snapshots from that show today, as Jamaica marks its 50th anniversary of independence and celebrates Usain Bolt's great repeat victory in the 100m sprint at the Olympics on Sunday.

The show was a personal statement about living in the shadow of greatness; about being overtaken by time and the forces of a self-imposed discipline.
