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
