After a six-year absence from the local art scene, Trinidadian visual artist Rebecca Foster is set to make a bold return with her one-day exhibition, ‘Mixtape: Vol 1,’ at the 101 Art Gallery on November 15. The 45-year-old Diego Martin resident will showcase over 30 pieces, a vibrant collection of new and older works, including sketches, Hard Rock Cafe portraits, and previously unseen creations. Foster describes the exhibition as a deeply personal endeavor, revealing her artistic soul and reflecting her journey as an artist. ‘This show is probably more of a reflection of me, which is terrifying. But hey, you gotta put yourself out there sometimes,’ she shared. The exhibition features a diverse range of styles and themes, from landscapes and architectural works to traditional Carnival characters and celebrity portraits, all unified by her signature use of vivid color. Foster’s artistic journey has been shaped by her experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, where she created free coloring pages to help people cope with stress, eventually compiling them into her book, ‘Colouring Carnival: Traditional Mas.’ Her career spans multiple creative disciplines, including acting, production design, and even pole dancing. Foster’s upcoming exhibition marks a significant milestone in her artistic evolution, blending her Caribbean roots with a cinematic storytelling approach. The exhibition will be open from 11 am to 6 pm at the 101 Art Gallery on November 15.
