Recent Works by Julian Bailey (b. 1963)

“This blend of realities—seen, imagined, read about, and felt—is at the heart of what I call ‘Real Time painting.’ It’s about constant examination and reassessment of the work in progress, letting ideas evolve until the final moment of resolution.” – Julian Bailey

Larkin Durey Gallery

Bahamian Artists: Anina Major & Lavar Munroe

Larkin Durey presents an exhibition exploring connections between Bahamian artists Anina Major and Lavar Munroe. Drawing from their roots in Nassau, Bahamas, and their experiences in the USA, their work explores themes of home, migration, identity, and heritage.
