Artists of the Bahamas Opens Today!

Artists of the Bahamas is a documentary film that explores the lives and works of key visual artists whose talents contributed to the initial art movement in the Bahamas. Interviews, still photos and archive footage are inter-cut with images of the artists’ works and we learn about the creative process that goes into their paintings, woodcuts, sculptures and installations.

The artists talk about the techniques they use to execute their ideas, from traditional brushes and charcoal, to palette knives, found objects, chainsaws and electronic media. The documentary concludes with the vibrant energy of Junkanoo, a great African festival that rivals both ‘Mardi Gras’ and ‘Carnaval’ in importance

Another Busy Week at Doongalik Studios!

Thanks to everyone who came out to support Roddie Pinder's Annual Woodturning Show! We look forward to sharing more of his work with art enthusiasts in the future!

This week, Doongalik turns it's attention to Max Taylor and Artists of the Bahamas! On Wednesday, November 17th at 6pm, Doongalik Studios Marina Village is pleased to host the opening of Max Taylor's "Jazzblutings," a series of acrylics on paper.

According to the artist, these works "reflect not only [his] love for jazz & blues music, but they are also a record showing snippets of Bahamian people and their way of life. [Taylor challenged himself] to use [his] creativity in a different way by letting the colors of the paint & [the] paintbrush guide [his] hand based purely on [his] feelings for these themes."



This Saturday, November 20th, 2010 from 10am - 4pm also marks the official opening of the Nassau city-wide exhibition of "Artists of the Bahamas." Six art galleries throughout Nassau will showcase the works of John Beadle, Jackson Burnside, Stan Burnside, John Cox, Amos Ferguson, Kendal Hanna, Brent Malone, Eddie Minnis, Antonius Roberts, Dave Smith, and Max Taylor. This eleven artists were featured in the film "Artists of the Bahamas" produced and directed by Karen Arthur & Thomas Neuwirth that chronicles the history of Bahamian art.

FINAL DAY TO ATTEND RODDIE PINDER'S ANNUAL WOODTURNING SHOW!!

Only Two Days Left!!

Roddie Pinder's Annual Woodturning Show at Marina Village!

Please join Doongalik Studios Art Gallery this Thursday, November 4th, 2010, for the Official Opening of Roddie Pinder's All Wood Show to take place at our Marina Village Location at 6pm. We hope to see you there!

Roddie Pinder was born and grew up in Spanish Wells, Eleuthera, Bahamas. A former Out Island Commissioner, Roddie’s love for woodworking lay dormant until he became friends with Edwin Ferguson from Nassau who was well known for making wooden spinning tops. After the death of another family friend, James Lowe, the family gave Roddie his lathe and a new career was born.

Roddie studied briefly with world renowned wood turner Rude Ofolnik and has never looked back. He uses primarily native woods along with other exotic hard woods.

Roddie is well known as the premiere wood turner in The Bahamas and presently works out of his basement workshop on Russell Island, Spanish Wells. His work can be found in collections locally and internationally.
