Estimated Value: $250-$300 Acrylic, pen and silkscreen ink on canvas panel Núria is Vopsi Moma’s sister, caretaker and a joy to be around. Núria is also a great cook, hair stylist and just a wonderful person in general. Núria only speaks Portuguese like most of the Angolan artists in the group,yet somehow whenever she asked me a question or told me to do something I knew just what she meant. As with a few of the people from group, Núria is someone I still keep in touch with.

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.
