Trinidad and To­ba­go’s art com­mu­ni­ty is ral­ly­ing to sup­port one of its own, as sev­er­al lo­cal artists do­nate their works for Art At­tack—an art auc­tion sched­uled for Sat­ur­day, Oc­to­ber 11, at the 101 Art Gallery in New­town.

The event aims to raise funds for ac­claimed painter Pe­ter Shep­pard’s med­ical ex­pens­es, fol­low­ing an emer­gency late last month.

Among the do­nat­ed pieces is Sub­ma­rine Bat­tle, a strik­ing paint­ing by vi­su­al artist Camille Bor­de. The piece cap­tures a mo­ment of ten­sion be­tween a tur­tle and a jel­ly­fish, ren­dered with fine de­tail and emo­tion­al depth—hall­marks of Bor­de’s ex­pres­sive re­al­ism.
