Che Lovelace
The gallery is proud to introduce Che Lovelace for his first exhibition in France. Born in Trinidad, his subject, rendered in vivid pigment on board, is informed by the cultural environment of Trinidad and Tobago and by extension the Caribbean.
Lovelace combines several boards assembled to produce a stable and inexpensive though archival substrate he could easily source there on the island. He incorporates this material and its format into his working process, considering the dividing edges of the panels as a way to rethink the composition of space and break up the expected sequence by which he constructed the image.
Reviewing his recent exhibition in New York, the New Yorker Magazine writes, 鈥漃oised on the border between Cubism and realism, Lovelace doesn鈥檛 really belong to any school; part of the beauty of his work lies in watching the artist establish his own rich vocabulary. He鈥檚 not afraid of pleasure and knows how much the soul craves color鈥攁 refuge during these dark days鈥︹��
The nature of the Caribbean space is complex and offers a mystical, sexual and ultimately spiritual energy that is potent. This energy has been harnessed by many artists to make their own poetry as they respond to the place.
