Laluna Art Project presents: “Sunshine — A Folk Vision”

The Laluna Art Project is set to host a captivating solo exhibition featuring the works of Doliver Morain, Grenada’s esteemed National Treasure folk artist. The event will commence on Friday, 21 November, at the Laluna Art Studio, located near The Monkey Bar Grenada at Portici Beach in Pt Salines. Visitors are encouraged to use Google Maps for directions and parking details. The opening ceremony will be a collaborative effort with Welcome Stone Distillery, which will offer samples of Grenada’s inaugural whiskey, adding a unique cultural touch to the evening. Doliver Morain, born in November 1959, is a self-taught painter and sculptor whose art vividly captures the essence of Grenadian life. Since 1983, his works have been celebrated for their authenticity, humor, and vibrant storytelling. Morain’s resourcefulness shines through his use of acrylics, oils, and enamels on unconventional materials like wood and metal, famously continuing his ‘blue period’ as long as blue paint was available. His paintings depict scenes of fishermen, cocoa workers, and island landscapes, while his whimsical sculptures of birds, turtles, and human figures, crafted from scrap metal and old clothing, reflect his playful imagination and deep community ties. Morain’s art has been showcased in numerous exhibitions organized by the Grenada Arts Council, including the Art Stimulus Project, and is highly sought after by collectors worldwide. His work, despite humble beginnings, exudes warmth, resilience, and joy, making him a distinctive artistic voice and a visual ambassador for Grenada. The Laluna Art Project, known for its fusion of Art, Food, and Music, supports local artists by ensuring that 100% of sales go directly to them. The Art Studio is open daily from 9 am to 6 pm, while The Monkey Bar operates on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 1 pm to 8 pm, offering local dishes and private event services. Additionally, the Enchanted Forest, a 2-acre beachfront space, features evolving art installations and sculptures, including innovative creations like upcycled plastic art.
