Two years ago, we published an interview with Caribeart , the Barbadian contemporary artist Alanis Forde. Today we’re glad to present you an In Focus on her new series of collages tinted with oil paint in Caribbean colors.
She depicts these black women magnified in artworks that question: black identity, idealization & fantasies of Caribbean exoticism, and the definition of normative femininity. Expressionistic realism portraiture also captures the magic of sisterhood and the cosmic bonds that flow from it.
You can find her at the New York at the World Trade Center, from December 09, 2021, to January 14, 2022. More info on Caribeart’s agenda here http://caribeart.fr/event/alanis-fordes-latest-group-exhibition-be-of-good-courage

“I am painting/creating my experiences and that automatically sets me apart from others because only I can do that and tell those stories through my art.”
