Wendell is known world-wide for his murals and installations. He has been shown in Europe, Japan, China, Mexico and the United States. 

He is the recipient of the Liverpool artist in residency at the BLUECOAT, UK. Awarded the prestigious Reuters News foundation fellowship award, UK. Funded by Atlantic LNG, T&T for his ongoing community art project “Art Connect."

He has been published in Contemporary Art Books by Gestalten Press Germany "Walls & Frames: Fine Art from the Streets" and "Nuevo Mundo: Latin American Street Art."

"The main drive for creating my work stems from a compulsive need to explore the human condition and its intrinsic dialogue within the realm of fantasy in an attempt to formulate thought provoking critiques contextualized through the use of social anthropology and current issues. My visual practice takes shape by combining materials and mediums. I use drawings, found objects, wood, sound, printmaking, paintings and paper cutouts to create animated films. These films are sometimes used in my mixed media installations forming a coherent interplay between the static and the moving image making up the multilayered discipline of my work," says Wendell.
