Kenwyn Crichlow: Incandescence
Past exhibition
Overview
Diane Rosenstein is pleased to present Incandescence – a solo exhibition by Kenwyn Crichlow (Trinidad and Tobago, b. 1951). For his inaugural exhibition with our gallery, Crichlow will present a suite of recent abstract oil paintings produced in his studio in Curepe, near Port of Spain, Trinidad.
Kenwyn Crichlow has developed and maintained an expansive studio practice for the past forty-five years. His paintings revel in multiple layers and episodes, clearly influenced by Trinidad's topographic and cultural landscape, but deliberately resisting representation. Instead, his work has evolved to evoke feeling through the material vocabulary of a painter: marks modernist in their self-awareness, but poetic in the experience they convey.
For Incandescence, recent paintings (2010-2023) are shown in conversation with a few early works from the 1970s and 1980s. The fifty-year trajectory will undoubtedly question the diverse manners through which identity and political perspective are conveyed.
