“delve into the spiritual and mental wellness of peoples of the African dysphoria; linking to mythology/folklore while disseminating what ‘fantasy’ means. Her work questions societies indoctrinated beliefs of what femininity and blackness are in relation to gender.”
Imogen Crossland paints scenes that reflect the moments of joy like gathering, dancing, eating, drinking, swimming, partying in her multicolored and textured works.
Tristram Lansdowne presents architectural structures, botanical forms, and futuristic worlds in his delicately embellished, smooth, and wonderfully detailed watercolour paintings.
