Jay Golding, 2022
Abuelita Del Maíz
Acrylic on canvas, 38.5 x 19 1/4 in.
This painting depicts a Mayan elder woman from the town of Homún, located in the Yucatán region of Mexico. I used a photograph shot by my friend Rodrigo Maisterra as a reference to create the final painting.
The collector of this piece is eligible to claim a bundle pack which includes a t-shirt in either white or black, a 24 x 36 in. framed poster, and stickers. Each of these products will have the image printed on them.
Jay Golding creates representational paintings and works on paper that are influenced by his travels, lineage, friends, relatives and tribal interests. Working with a variety of mediums that span acrylic, oil paint, pencils, pen and collage, Golding’s work encourages viewers to see through the eyes of another by highlighting the emotions of his subjects through the use of vibrant colors and detailed linework.
In late 2019, Jay adopted the alias “Kwame” shortly after returning to the US from a visit to Ghana. As Kwame, his work expands on his indigenous narratives, speaking directly to the global craftsmanship, ancient myths and division between tribal cultures.
