NLS presents Open Studios with Varun Baker and Michael Elliott
Sunday, January 6th, 2013 Categories: Art Residencies, Updates2013 is off to a great start as NLS hosts the first ever open studio for our first set of studio artists, Varun Baker and Michael Elliott. Join us Saturday, January 12 to meet Michael and Varun and see what they’ve been up to for the last month and a half in the NLS space.
Varun Baker is a photographer whose previous work explored the relationship between multiculturalism and midlife subcultures. Additionally in his current studio practice his work has taken on a more experimental approach to photography by playing with abstraction and light.
Michael Elliott uses a metaphorical language in his painting practice to comment on politics, the economy, environment and warfare. Michael has exhibited his work at the National Gallery of Jamaica, Mutual Gallery and the CAG[E] gallery in Kingston.
