George Simon's 'Golden Jaguar Spirit', 2010.
The National Art Gallery is hosting a discussion on the subject, ‘Meanings in Amerindian Art’, on Wednesday at its Castellani House premises, Vlissengen Road, Georgetown.
The painter and archaeologist George Simon and sculptor Oswald Hussein will lead the discussion – along with the sculptor Winslow Craig – using examples of their works from the National Collection and artists’ collections, and including works by other artists of Amerindian heritage, including Roaland Taylor, Valentine Stoll, Anil Roberts, the late ceramist and painter Stephanie Correia and the late wheelchair-bound painter Edward Fredericks.
The artists will speak on the myths, legends, beliefs and ideas of their native culture which have influenced the images and forms in their art, in an informal exchange with the gallery audience. This will take place in the ground floor galleries at Castellani House where the works under discussion will be hung.
The public is invited to attend this event which celebrates Amerindian Heritage Month. Admission is free.
