Description
Rooted in her 1980s New York City upbringing and strong spirituality, artist Genesis Tramaine imbues her abstract portraits of men and women with a transcendent emotion, devotion, and soundless musicality. This is borne from rhythmic brushstrokes and a visceral use of chromatic colour.
She seeks, at once, to represent and universalise the humanness of the American Black face by obscuring the specificity of individual features. Instead, she chooses to portray the inner turmoil and inner joy of one's mind and being.
Gimme Some Sugar embodies this unique artistic vision, capturing the essence of emotional and spiritual expression through art.
