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.
