A summer of painting...

After the intensive work of setting up the Grenada Pavilion for the Biennale di Venezia, summer days were filled with me in the studio painting. Actually my favourite place to be.

Just sharing a little with you.  Projects on the horizon.

Speaking up for Yugge Farrell

Sometimes an issue becomes so urgent that you just have to say something.  I am not a lawyer or a politician, so I use the best way I can to draw attention, and that is through art.

Young lady, Yugge Farrel in St. Vincent is in a mental institution indefinitely being filled with psychotropic drugs for committing the offence of cursing a Minister's wife.  Her story is heartbreaking, and is now all over social media.  When I read about her this painitng came pouring out.  Justice for #yuggefarrell

When you neighbor's house ketch fire, throw water on yours.

Watch this interview with Jerry George. Make some noise.

A young singer songwriter from Barbados has written and performed this song about Yugge Farrell. click to take a listen.  Big love and respect to Amber Stone.
