Sheena Rose drawings now part of ArtsEtc Collection

ArtsEtc added the work of young Barbadian multimedia artist Sheena Rose to their collection in July 2012.

The three drawings, entitled Town, Trini Roti and Crowd, highlight Sheena's nimble skill with pen and ink, and her uninhibited sense of humour.

The diptych Trini Roti recounts the artist's encounter with the spicy yet popular Trinidadian dish while in residence in that country.  In this work, she incorporates--and elevates--toilet humour with the use of Snoopy from the Peanuts comic strip.

The nature and meaning of contemporary Caribbean identity is one of Rose's major themes.  In drawings such as Town and Crowd, and in her paintings and animation, she continues to explore who people are at any given moment, in any given place.
