YVADNEY DAVIS
Yvadney is a figurative artist from South London celebrating my Caribbean heritage through themes of folklore, history and the everyday. Self taught, her practise amplifies the rich culture of the Windrush Generation and its descendants through works centred on surface using mediums including textured paint, vintage wallpaper and chrome ink. Her work has been exhibited at the Black Cultural Archives, 198 Gallery, Mall Galleries and M&C Saatchi amongst others ; shortlisted for John Moores Painting Prize and RA Summer Exhibition; and she was a semi-finalist in Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year, but her most proud moment is having the Year 6’s at Hitherfield Primary School do an art project on her work.
Yvadney has included two pieces exploring the sensuality and sensitivity of Caribbean women.
