The lovely owners at Patois asked me if I could create some
works of art which included Patois. I also included pastel drawings of
Calypsonians I was fortunate to see on Union Island in St. Vincent and the
Grenadines.
Join us for an artist talk at 2pm. The rest of the time you
are encouraged to walk around the venue and view the work, perhaps dine there
and take advantage of some refreshments provided.
Patois Jamaican Restaurant is located at:
905 492 8492
Patois is a language invented so that secrecy could prevail during
times of slavery. I was careful to choose images that compliment the proverbs
but do not explain.
Patois, the art exhibition on display at Patois Jamaican Restaurant, is
the study of Caribbean language and music. I have chosen Jamaican proverbs and
illustrated them using ink and scratchboard on paper. The pastel images of
Caribbean musicians were rendered during an art exhibition on Union Island in
St. Vincent and the Grenadines. I chose to render these images with a lyrical
use of line and shape.
Part of the
proceeds from this event will go to Rise Above, a local charity designed
to educate, inspire and empower our community. ‘Building our community by
paving the foundation to your success.’
Keep on keeping on!
Cheers,
Simone
