A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...Where the I Settles, an exhibition of new and recent work by Che Lovelace, the artist’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. Across a group of multi-paneled paintings, the exhibition radically expands his exploration into the relationship between nature and society in his native Trinidad. Lovelace attends to the many ways that these worlds contrast with one another before eventually reaching a state of unity, which he expresses above all through the act of painting itself.
A primary focus in Lovelace’s work has been both the vibrancy and specificity of life in Trinidad, a place where local history, custom and ritual exists alongside, and in constant dialogue with its post-colonial identity. Whether depicting the flora and fauna of its forests and coasts, or the urban sprawl of its built environment, Lovelace renders each form and every detail with descriptive complexity and formal ingenuity. Drawing inspiration as much from the rich history of Caribbean and Trinidadian art as he does from the legacy of Cubism, Lovelace is attuned to how these different histories create worlds that at first seem separate and distinct but which can ultimately be made to converge..."
