About the Artist

Alvaro Barrington is a dynamic Grenadian-British artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, and installation. His highly distinctive work is characterized by its vibrant color palettes, raw energy, and an experimental use of diverse materials—from cement and burlap to cardboard and found objects. Barrington explores themes of identity, belonging, community, and cultural memory, often drawing inspiration from his Caribbean heritage, urban life, and music. His paintings frequently blur the lines between figuration and abstraction, creating richly textured, layered compositions that convey a sense of fluidity and improvisation, reflecting on the complexities of contemporary experience and cultural hybridity.
