Rose acts to expand on the expressions of Barbadian culture beyond the familiar stereotypes of beaches and sun, and look at the way Barbadians speak. In this painting, the artist references some stereotypes but repositions them into places within everyday situations. This work is part of the "Sweet Gossip" series - a collaborative project that looks at the Pop culture of Barbados and the phrases or comments that Barbadians use when gossiping or in specific situations.
You are all set!
