Announcing Fine Artist Kenrick McFarlane on The Global Committee
Kenrick McFarlane (B.1990) is a Jamaican-American artist currently living and working in Los Angeles. He recently finished his fellowship in South Africa, and participated and showcased a piece of his work at Glappitnova Chicago a few years ago. We are super excited to have him on the global committee.
As an individual, he uses painting as a language to express his political and personal thoughts, desires, emotions, and fears. Using and combining a variety of visual languages from art and history stimulates and heightens his creative process. Because of this variety, his medium of choice is oil paint.
In 2010, Mcfarlane had his first solo show entitled “Face Off” at the Gene Siskel Film Center. In 2012, exhibitions by Kenrick Mcfarlane include “The King of Crooks” which was shown at Morton College, and also “The Tipping Point of Me and We” at Little Black Pearl Art and Design Center. The exhibition was also hosted by the Contemporary Arts Council and curated by Tempestt Hazel.
Later in 2012, Mcfarlane was chosen by Kerry James Marshall to participate in an exhibition curated by Dawoud Bey entitled, “Eclectic Coherence” The show was held at Expo Chicago located at Navy Pier. Kenrick Mcfarlane is a graduate from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
