Artist Statement:
2008 exhibition, Golden
Glance, is a glimpse into an
abstracted world. Previous
exhibitions have centered
around the urban landscape in
Trinidad and Tobago with
specific focus on life at the
edge of the road. Golden
Glance continues this focus
but also takes it a step
further by taking a closer
look, particularly at
attitudes among Trinbagonians.
In a series of paintings of
headshots, states of being of
the Trinbagonian are etched
onto their faces. It is also
through the stance of a man,
in a series of friezes, that
the essence of our human
landscape is depicted. It is
the idea of being able to
recognise ourselves, at a
glance at forty paces;
walking, sitting, talking.
I believe that, as an artist,
I can draw from any world for
inspiration be it her own
cultural pool or another. I
have recently been exploring
the artistic evolution of
traditional African masks and
sculptures in their depiction
of human expression. The
result of this search can be
seen in my own series of masks
inspired by the Trinbagonian.
These acrylic and oil
paintings comprise amorphous
shapes, expressive lines,
fluid gestures and the human
form which are all embedded in
an illusory space.
