Digitally Creative @Spaces
#DesignWeekJA, a property of the Jamaica Observer, took a walk down digital lane Saturday last. Hosted by Janelle Pantry-Coke, creative director of Spaces Furniture and Décor, the one-day-only digital art exhibition/sip and shop featured four artists: Kianne Hutchinson, Bonito “Don Dada” Thompson, Lisa Golding and Christopher Fuller.
Digital art has existed for over 30 years and spans a broad spectrum of mediums, from animation and digital painting to 3-D printed sculptures; and the four artists were more than eager to share and educate patrons.
Hutchinson’s exhibition was inspired by traditional Jamaican elements with a modern spin; Don Dada drew inspiration from typography and dancehall; Golding’s inspiration comes by way of prints and patterns; whilst Fuller took sides with elements of nature.
Pantry-Coke, who was thrilled at the response, spoke to the “now” of the exhibition and her desire for individuals to embrace the inventiveness of the current crop of creatives.
