On Blank Canvas, host Amard Rolle (the NAGB’s Executive Assistant)discuss a busy two weeks of exciting exhibitions for the art community with Samantha Treco of CAB, DAF featured artist Matthew Rahming, and Romel Shearer of TERN.
The NAGB honors the passing of the beloved F. Marina D’Aguilar, an extraordinary individual who has had a positive and significant impact on Bahamian culture.
Art opens up dialogue in such a vast catchment of topics in ways that other things just cannot, and in time for the ‘back to school’ rush, the photography of Greg Pesik, ‘Nomad of the Golden Hour’, currently on exhibit at the D’Aguilar Art Foundation (DAF) seeks to do just that – to open up the floor for encompassing all kinds of conversations about the world around us.
The D’Aguilar Art Foundation proudly presents a solo exhibition by Maxwell Taylor, in which richly orchestrated prints pay homage to family, nurturing matriarchs and the ceremonies of a happy home. This bold and technically complex body of work was created during two recent Artist residencies, at Robert Blackburn studios, New York (2015), awarded by The DAF, and Art in Residence at the University of Tampa, Florida (2016), and sees Taylor rework subject matter familiar to him through the breadth of printmaking techniques.
There were sunsets, palm trees and brightly painted murder scenes in Dave Smith’s most recent show at the D’Aguilar Art Foundation (DAF). Aptly titled “Headlines”, Smith referenced the local dailies in the exhibition that was on display at the DAF from November 2015 to January 2016.
The D’Aguilar Art Foundation is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition, “Balance/ Reflection”, featuring works by John Cox that have found a home in the expansive Dawn Davies collection.
