"Transplanted" Exhibition
Clover's Fine Art Gallery
This event has ended.
Clover’s Fine Art Gallery presents “Transplanted,” an exhibit featuring five artists who launched their art careers in their homeland before continuing successful careers in the United States. This exhibition is an exquisite collection of multicultural works.
“Clover’s Fine Art Gallery’s mission is to showcase the works of diverse artists in all our exhibitions,” said Clover Barrett, gallery owner and curator. “The artists featured in “Transplanted” tell stories of their life journeys through their art and we are proud to feature them in the exhibit.”
Participating artists include:
Roger Beckles - A Barbados native and realist painter whose experiences in his homeland as well as in the U.S. contributed to his active pursuits in the arts. After receiving a formal education at the School of Visual Arts, Beckles entrenched himself in a love affair with oil painting which has continued throughout his career.
Catriona Herd - Brooklyn-based Scottish artist, Catriona Herd, paints landscapes from outdoor sketches. She often exhibits in New York and Scotland and recently won a scholarship to paint at the Anderson Ranch Arts Centre in Aspen, Colorado.
Robert V. Reid - Born in Port of Spain, Trinidad, Reid was introduced to art by a myriad of Caribbean artists who became his role models. He has studied at The Art Students League in New York and at the School of Visual Arts.
Sophie Sejourne - This Brooklyn resident and French-born painter began her career in La Rochelle, France and studied at l’Ecole des Beaux Arts in Poitiers, France. She has also studied at the Art Students League in New York City. Sejourne’s work is concerned with the reinvigoration of modernist collage practice. Sejourne’s homeland is a continual source of inspiration for her paintings.
Alison Wells - Abstract painter, Wells, depicts the cultural diversity of her background in her work. She received a MFA from the University of Massachusetts and a BFA from the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts in Kingston, Jamaica. Wells has exhibited in the United States, the Caribbean and Europe. She was also chosen to represent her homeland, Trinidad, in the 2010 World Exposition in Shanghai.
