Here's to 60, Sweet T&T!

We are a strong and proud people. Our love for our country runs deep in our souls.

Let's celebrate all that we are and wear our Independence with style!

Trinidad and Tobago achieved full independence via the Trinidad and Tobago Independence Act 1962 on 31 August 1962 within the Commonwealth with Queen Elizabeth II as its titular head of state. On 1 August 1976, the country became a republic, and the last Governor-General, Sir Ellis Clarke, became the first President.

‘Freedom no. 40 (In Flow)’ Kavir Mootoo, 2022 Acrylic on 6 1/2″ x 60″ stretched canvas. Framed as shown. SOLD

To continue my long and narrow pieces, I bought some unstretched canvas. This is the length of the canvas I got which excited me tremendously!!

I worked on it on a table to create different sections - a ladder of sorts of various textures, each area pushing it, playing, trying to see what can happen.

I see this piece fitting onto a space on a wall where a larger painting would be difficult to accommodate.

ABOUT THE PROCESS -

A blank canvas represents a world of opportunity. It is exactly that - a blank canvas.

I try to let what is speaking to me come to the fore. How am I feeling? Is a colour on my mind? A colour I recently got? One that has been on my mind because of the texture of its particular brand? Or is it a shape or part of the canvas that is speaking to me? Is it something I saw online or on TV or in the garden? Maybe I can’t even name it but it is there!

I know that it is THAT inkling which I could do. It is listening to this which I find deeply self-affirming. It involves a TRUST and a KNOWING which I find priceless.

Metallic white and blue paint. Covering over and then taking away were just some of the actions that felt deep and true.

What is that inkling, that idea that is speaking to you - perhaps one you’ve been putting off? Could you give birth to it?

‘Red…..Exactly!’, Kavir Mootoo, 2022. Acrylic on 9″x41″ stretched linen. SOLD

Abstract expressionist painting - the freedom of this style with the formality of red lines. I like the contrast - macaws in the forest come to mind for me.
