The Painters Art Studio in Port of Spain will transform into a vibrant hub of Caribbean creativity with the inauguration of Tobago Artist 2025 on December 10. This groundbreaking exhibition showcases five exceptional visual artists who collectively represent the cutting edge of Tobago’s contemporary art movement.
Curated to highlight diverse artistic approaches, the exhibition features Arletys Arias’ emotionally charged paintings exploring themes of memory and displacement, alongside Dunieski Lora’s vividly colored sculptural works that weave complex narratives through form and hue. Jason Nedd contributes technically refined pieces that capture the dual nature of island existence—both tranquil and multifaceted.
Helen Evans pushes creative boundaries by merging traditional ceramic techniques with contemporary conceptual frameworks, while Martin Superville demonstrates his acclaimed expertise in portraiture and figurative works that have earned him recognition throughout regional art circles.
The exhibition serves as a cultural bridge, designed to enhance the visibility of Tobago’s artistic community within Trinidad’s broader art ecosystem. Through a carefully selected array of paintings, sculptures, ceramic works, and mixed-media installations, the show presents both individual artistic journeys and shared Caribbean cultural heritage.
Tobago Artist 2025 opens with an evening reception on December 10 from 5 PM to 9 PM at 45 Picton Street, Newtown, and will remain accessible to the public through December 14. Admission is free, providing an inclusive opportunity for art enthusiasts, collectors, and community members to engage directly with the artists and their creations.
