Stingrae Studio
Making an exciting return to this year's Transforming Spaces tour is Stingrae Studio, offering a refreshing space where realistic paintings and sculpture by several Bahamian artists will be on display and for sale.
"This is the only space producing realistic work and people always enjoy coming here," said Stingrae Studio Founder the artist Malcolm. "We weren't sure what to do last year with the theme, so we pulled out, but I'm glad to be back, especially these days where realistic art can hardly get a venue."
Located in Monastery Park, the beautiful gardens and patios of Stingrae Studio will be transformed into six distinct artists' areas, each showing realistic works of art that easily meet everyday living.
Malcolm will show a variety of paintings, prints and even keychains on the theme "See the Sea"; Erlin Carey will exhibit acrylic paintings with the theme "Junkanoo Headdress"; Toby Lunn will showcase small paintings on the theme "Floral"; Quentin Minnis will have on display his acrylic paintings; Craig Roberts will show a collection of his native woodwork items such as bowls, utensils and tables, and Anna Wassitch will display a collection of her photography for the first time.
"We're proud to be realistic artists," says the artist Malcolm about the group.
"In a beautiful country such as this one, there is so much to see and paint. As an artist, you get to see what is really going on in the world, how things are changing and how we are losing our land. So what we do is important, helping others see the beauty of the place in which they live."
