Description
Colour photograph of the mural "Triathlon" by Paul Elliott, c. 1991.
Painted in 1988 by Paul Elliott of Toronto, ON, at 285 East Main Street (formerly YMCA building), 3 panels at 327 square feet.
The Mike Burwell Memorial Triathlon, an annual Welland event, is depicted in this 3 panel mural. The annual race attracted 300-400 competitors every summer. It folded in 2005. From left to right the viewer captures the intensity of the runner, cyclist and swimmer. The second file is a close-up of the first panel, which shows the athletes running by the mural on the YMCA building, the result being a mural within a mural.
The mural appears to have been painted over or removed between 2014-2015.
