Of Barbados – Meet the Artists

Caribbean Brushstrokes is proud to present “…Of Barbados” — The Art of Arthur Atkinson and Sir Henry Fraser, bringing together two distinguished Barbadian artists whose work has been deeply shaped by the island they call home.
Arthur Atkinson has been exhibiting since 1968, moving boldly through representation, abstraction, super realism and stylised social commentary while consistently returning to Barbados and things Bajan for inspiration. With exhibitions across the Caribbean and internationally, he was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award in the Visual Arts in 2008.

Sir Henry Fraser brings an equally extraordinary perspective. Physician, author, architectural historian, broadcaster and artist, his expressive landscapes and studies of Barbados sit alongside a lifetime devoted to documenting and protecting the island’s heritage. A former President of the Barbados National Trust, he was knighted in 2014.

Together, their work offers more than views of Barbados. It is Barbados observed, remembered, interpreted and preserved through two remarkable artistic lives.Opening Night: Wednesday, September 16 at 6:30pm
