Jay Golding

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.
