I grew up riding my bike along Quinpool road and had no idea that the wavy concrete wall in front of the old Ben’s Bakery parking lot, was a work of art.
It’s a sculptured piece commissioned in 1968 by Ben’s Bakery. The artist’s name is Joeseph Drapell who is an Czech-Canadian abstract painter and the piece is called, LIFE!
Right now it has a cozy outdoor patio set up alongside it for the vegetarian restaurant Heartwood.
I was reading up on The Wave sculpture on the waterfront and noticed another article on LIFE learning that it’s an art piece…in really rough shape.
