Estimated Value: $350-$420 Acrylic on canvas Vopsi Moma is absolutely one of the most talented artists I’ve ever met. Even more fascinating to me is Moma’s ability to create at such a high level despite having a disability that prevents him from being able to walk or do certain things on his own. It was an honor to witness Moma create in person and to see how vibrant his spirit is at all times. Aside from Abigail, Moma was the top stand up comedian of the group for sure. Even though I had no idea what he was saying, I can tell it was funny by the tone of his voice and how much all of the Angolans would laugh. Ooooone thousand!!

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.
