‘Gold ‘n lines.’ Kavir Mootoo, 2020. Acrylic on 16” x 20” canvas board. Framed. (ready to hang)

I like the interest that gold offers in a painting. As light reflects off of it at different angles, the look of the whole painting changes – when 1 area shines brightest it brings out another particular area and so the piece is ever-changing – alive and ‘living’ as it were.

This painting is offered as part of #artistsupportpledge which is a generous culture and dynamic economy in support of artists and makers.

The concept is a simple one. Artists and makers post images of their work to sell for NO MORE than TT$1400 (US$200, £200, €200, ¥20000) each (not including shipping.) Anyone can then buy the work. Every time the artist or maker reaches TT$7000 (US$1000) of sales they pledge to buy another artist’s work for TT$1400 (US$200). This is open to artists all over the world and is to encourage a more democratic, equal and open economy for all artists and makers.
