Loops News reports that Trinidad-born artist Brittany “Brigitte” Davis is over the moon now that her art has been featured on a billboard at Times Square, New York. [See additional links to her work below. Many thanks to Peter Jordens for bringing this item to our attention.]

The 26-year-old posted a photo of her to her social media, showing her standing across the street from the billboard displaying the piece, which is an homage to her Caribbean heritage and culture.

Davis’ expressionist-inspired piece strategically uses colour blocking with a mixture of neutral browns against a cool background. The warm values of red, orange and yellow also stand out against the background. The use of complementary blue and orange adds additional vibrancy to the piece as it alludes to T&T’s Caribbean heritage/society of a melding of many cultures, though different, coming together to create something new and unique.

The Fashion Institute of Technology graduate thanked ArtSpace Innovations for the opportunity to showcase her work. 

Through its innovative approach, ArtSpace helps artists exhibit their art at underground train stations, digital billboards, and other unconventional platforms worldwide, giving them a wider audience and a chance to make a lasting impact on the art world.

Davis, now based in New York, grew up in Los Bajos, a village in South Trinidad. She moved to the United States at 16. She specialises in painting, 2D design, sculpture and printmaking, with a focus on vulnerability and fantasy.
