Nathan Agard - Freedom Cave

Oneka Small - Spirit of the Flambouyant - Flow
It is a freedom piece. Create in response to a stressful project with many limitations. The Flambouyants are a place of beautiful escape. Sometimes when driving away from a stressful situation, I would 'turn a corner' into a pop of colour. I'd smile, say 'So pretty' and my whole mindset would change.
Jaryd Niles-Morris - ?LOVE?
An abstract representation of the life cycle of some relationships
Mario Holder - Invitation
Garden themed depicting a state of mind.
Karib Colors - Cyparis
This portrait is part of my art series called Karib Colors. The project karib colors aims to give a new representation of the Caribbeans, in a sober graphic syntax. From past to present, the characters remind us of our Caribbean heritage and identity. The plant is omnipresent in the representations and it is about tropical plants. Here, it is a portrait of Cyparis (born in Martinique on June 1, 1874) who is one of the two known survivors of the eruption of May 8, 1902 of Mount Pelée in Martinique. Sentenced to one month in the prison of Saint-Pierre for a drunken brawl, he was protected by the thick walls and was rescued three days after the eruption of Mount Pelée.
Zoe Osborne - Tropical Diversity
This piece celebrates biodiversity in Barbados and touches on the presence of the built environment within our eco-system.
Alex Gibson - Untitled Garden 3
'Untitled Garden' series is a body of work that explores non-binary gender expression, transcendences of human body limitations, and queer futurism. This work references elements of nature, man-made infrastructures and animated media, to conjure feelings of unease, tension, and organic manipulation, while the use of extracted media acts as a contemplative pool to reveal new meaning.

Ronald Williams - Hubris
This piece explores the issues one sometimes encountered when it's perceived that they've overstepped their station. Rise but don't overreach, gain knowledge but never be too smart, be free but conform to what is expected. It draws inspiration from the Greek mythological story of Icarus and the fabled Tower of Babel.

Rudy - Social Distance
Acrylic on canvas : Art imitating the almost non existent love life of the human race during the covid 19 lockdowns
Sydney McConney - After Sex
In my experience, sex has been incredibly isolating; ironically. “After Sex” displays the hopelessness of a deep connection between partners; exploring the thoughts of the subject as it relates to feeling like a sexual object. Living as a gender fluid person in Barbados who is sexualized by merely existing, I also reflect on how it affects the exploration of my gender identity. In Barbados, sexual harassment and objectification are regularly encountered by women and people who are assumed to be women. Objectification not only happens on the streets, but also in intimate settings. In this piece I reflect on conflicting feelings and confusion about my gender as it relates to being sexualized in an intimate setting; as a person who is assumed to be a woman. The figure lies on the bed motionless with a blank expression. There is hopelessness in true and complete validation of my gender fluidity. There is hopelessness in being more than a sexual object.

Sachin - Blue Prince
Blue prince is an expressive tribute art piece that showcases the way I view one of my closest friends, that of a deeply emotional individual, and I wanted to illustrate his strength along with his boldness and gentle nature utilizing the various deep shades of blue. The foundation of which he lays his emotions on, is that of determination to be himself no matter what life throws at him and I expressed that through a picture of a beach rock from Mullin Beach that I had taken at the time. The pink in the picture showcases his pride as a member of the LGBTQ+ community all the while it is utilized in manner to insist that although it may be a part of who he is, it does not define his life, his experiences and his personality. The way he is portrayed is to convey how I see him as a unique being deserving of attention but one that cannot be defined by traditional nor conventional perspectives.
