Stanwyck Cromwell is a Guyanese-born contemporary artist. He lives and works in Connecticut since moving here in 1970, though his Caribbean roots serve as a visual footing for his work as he draws on memories full of saturated colors and patterns that make up his paintings. “A visual kaleidoscope from this exotic land, is referenced in my art. Coming from a tropical country, where everything is referenced by color, my art radiates a colorful energy that is both visually and spiritually stimulating. I find resiliency in being able to create artforms that reflect my rich and diverse culture.” His thick application of paint invites the viewer to physically enter Cromwell’s own world where the people of the Caribbean shine, radiating strength. His work combines both imaginary and spiritual concepts through myths and folklores, combining abstraction with representational. Cromwell’s work embodies his experiences as a human being and a Guyanese-born artist.
