Caymanian, Tiffany Polloni is incredibly excited to be exhibiting her paintings in her first solo show.
As an up-and-coming artist, who has had her works in several local exhibitions before under the moniker of EthelandCharlie, a dedication to her Cayman Brac grandparents and their love of all things Caymanian, Tiffany is hopeful that the show is well-received.”
Lookya” – a collection of 11 original watercolours, thematically covers a range of current affairs with an overarching undercurrent of female empowerment. Polloni says “I feel a strong responsibility to address some of our Caymanian societal woes as of late. I believe in speaking out when an injustice takes place. Those who know me well, know that I can be quite outspoken and my recent work is giving me another voice. I am not afraid of rocking the boat a little, and the past year, leading up to our recent elections, has highlighted so much in our small society, that some boat rocking has been warranted.”
Equally excited is Brigita Nemet, proprietor of Mojos (also known as Central Terrace), the venue for the month-long exhibition. The gastropub, located upstairs from Kirk Freeport in Bayshore Mall, recently converted some of its space to show artworks for two other exhibitions.
“Central Terrace’s ethos is to connect people through art, music, sustainable living and food; we have represented all these aspects since we opened 7 years ago. I am so very happy that this such a great space to socialize, for all walks of life to get together,” said Nemet when asked how she feels about the exhibition.
“I feel that Tiffany’s work has such an urgency in its message and though overtly stated it is handled delicately; her choice of medium helps with that. As a self-taught painter her saturated palette is reminiscent of Janet Walker and Joanne Sibley’s watercolours; she handles that and penwork with sensibilities much like Debbie Van Der Bol. She has little gems throughout her works that you have to see in person to truly appreciate,” said Kerwin G. Ebanks, co-curator for the show.
Admission to view “Lookya” is free to the public Tuesdays to Sundays from 10AM to 10PM; the public is also encouraged to meet the artist and enjoy complimentary bubbles at 5pm on Saturday May 22.
