Jamaican
art is well
regarded worldwide. Some of our artists like the late Albert Huie
(painter) and Cecil Baugh (master potter) have gained legendary status
resulting in their portraits and pots respectively, gracing the homes
of
royalty, presidents and the like.
Jamaican artists
Since we are devoted to highlighting our little Jamrock in pictures, we
think it
absolutely necessary to present - through the medium of photography -
works of art by Jamaican artists of varying specialties.
We feature the work of painter
Lennox
Coke, a personal friend who has
been gaining respect and popularity over the years.
His
paintings of old houses and market scenes are our
favorites. Our people are presented realistically and our
culture vividly. The man peeling and selling his sugar cane, the farmer
heading home in his donkey cart and the blooming Poui tree are all
common everyday scenes here. Enjoy.
We also have for you a carousel display of more of Lennox Coke's
artwork.

of chickens will elicit a smile.

Market, Saturday
Market and Brawta

People is a collage capturing various cultural aspects of
Jamaican life.

Did you notice the broken umbrella providing well needed
shade, the lady sweeping her red verandah and of course the abundance
of color? If not you need to see the real thing so make sure to contact
Lennox Coke on your next visit to the island.
