“The first space is heralded by the large, brooding silhouettes by Camille Harding and Michelle Isava. The figures are troubled, potentially violent figures.”

This is the impression of artist reviewer, Kenwyn Crichlow as he critiques the second exhibition put on last semester by the Visual Arts Unit of the DCFA at The UWI.

The “Interpretations of the Human Figure” exhibition comprised over 60 items made of acrylic, oil and watercolour paints, graphite, charcoal, pastels, conte crayon, encaustic, ink, plexiglass and mixed media; with some items created with photographic processes, digital media and electronic printing on polyvinyl. It was mounted at the ASTT Gallery on the occasion of its 70th anniversary.

On our cover is one of Camille Harding’s pieces, “My Ancestors,’ and inside, on our centerspread, we feature Crichlow’s review and some of the work that was on display. Full Article >>
