The first complete monograph devoted to the Caribbean artist whose work combines powerful visual storytelling with a deep exploration of social, political and cultural themes Rooted in the rural outskirts of Port of Spain, painter Che Lovelace (born 1969) considers his birthplace of Trinidad his ultimate subject. The flora, fauna and figures of island life are ever-present in his tropical vistas painted on board panels split into quadrants. These vibrant, energetic compositions present a nuanced exploration of postcolonial identity, grounded in a deep commitment to the Caribbean landscape and its community. This lush paperback immerses readers in Lovelace's dynamic scenes while diving deeper into Caribbean history, culture and identity. Essays from Whitney Museum curator Rujeko Hockley, Dallas-based writer and curator Gavin Delahunty and British writer Ekow Eshun outline both the natural beauty and nuances of Lovelace's use of flora and fauna, along with the artist's personal sense of place and politics.
