This original abstract painting is an explosion of color, texture, and movement created by the late Trinidadian artist C.C.S. (T’Chala). Layers of bold acrylic paint form swirling energy that reveals powerful human forms within the chaos — a reflection of resilience, cultural memory, and creative spirit.

Each stroke carries his unmistakable hand, combining vibrant hues with raw, textured depth. The painting’s surface is alive with dimension, and every viewing reveals new hidden shapes and stories.

✨ Artist Legacy
C.C.S. was born in Trinidad 🇹🇹 and later moved to Toronto, Ontario, where he lived and created until his passing at the age of 74 after a lengthy battle with prostate cancer. He leaves behind six children and a remarkable body of work. His pieces are now shared through Carmichael’s Workshop — named after the plaque that once hung in his original workspace.
