Richard Nattoo
Richard Nattoo delves into pre-colonial spiritual beliefs and brings them to life in his exhibition, vividly depicting the timeless connection between the past and present, the seen and unseen. Through his art, Nattoo captures the essence of Jamaican folk tales, making the mystical forces of the natural world come alive on canvas. His work invites viewers to experience the profound cultural symbiosis that defines Jamaican folklore.
In this intricate dance of nature and spirituality, the Jamaican landscape becomes a canvas painted with the colours of reverence, fear, and respect. The water spirits and birds, in their silent yet profound ways, guide and protect, weaving an eternal narrative of harmony between humanity and the mystical forces that govern the natural world. This cultural symbiosis breathes life into the modern world, reminding us of the timeless connection between the past and present, the seen and unseen.
