The second and youngest son of Chief Amadi and his wife Afa of the Lefa tribe, Kamal is very clever and known around his village for his crafty ways and painting skills. He is often seen assisting the elders or just about anyone who would allow him with any form of repair work that needs to be done. Kamal has the ability to channel the electrical current in his body to shoot projectiles from his mouth and hands. He typically uses lemons as his way of charging his body to produce an abundance of electric charges.

Jay Golding’s figurative paintings and drawings evoke mythology, migration, and interconnectedness, creating literal and symbolic layers employed by vibrant palettes in acrylics and oils, sometimes incorporating collaged or impastoed elements. Golding’s emphasis on tribal cultures within his work, often infuses Caribbean and African cultural motifs allowing him to draw parallels between various communities–expressed by his masked figures and other fictional characters such as the purple-skinned beings from the village “Maji ya bluu”, which is Swahili for blue water. Golding frequently signs his work under the pseudonym Kwame, a name he donned after visiting Ghana in 2019 with his family. He cites his trip to the West African nation as well as Mexico as being life changing and having profound effects on his work.
