Che Lovelace channels the spirit of home into painting. “My work is generated from where I am. From the space which I inhabit, which is Trinidad – a physical place, a spiritual place, a mental place.” Figuration, still life, architecture, interiors and landscapes amass into rich, colourful compositions that skew depth and perspective – recalling elements of Cubism and Futurism. The artist layers acrylic and dry pigment onto board panels, moving back and forth between painting and drawing. He always works on multiple paintings at a time, helping to “unlock” any creative blocks along the way. While the compositions are intuitive and joyfully energetic, they are constructed slowly over long periods of time.
