Réna King Black and White Barbados

Black and White Barbados series which is focused on reemphasizing the colonial history of an island that is now seen as a colorful tourist hotspot destination. The fantasy-like overly colorful depiction erases the dark history that still influences the people of Barbados and that is what I wanted to capture in these paintings. I intentionally made them black and white to strip the images of their color and give a more haunting and disturbing visual of a Caribbean island.
