Dirty Crayon 2013

Dirty Crayons’ Victory Run is a collaborative exhibition of works by Visual Artists Jehan Jackson, Leasho Johnson, Keegan Simon, Taj Francis and Kemar Swaby.We hope to become vanguards in the changing face of this social event, encouraging young artists play a part in the greater community while making a name for themselves in the Jamaican art scene and help to inspire other upcoming talents to become better artists and collaborators.

This year’s showcase shall exhibit the broad spectrum of young and impressive talent’s that the Caribbean has to offer, displaying the fusion of art, strong concepts, culture and aesthetic appeal. Creating a space of a more up-tempo art exhibit than the usual art exhibition, being a more edgy, trendy and expressive in our approach as a presentation.

 intuitionally I wanted to go bigger but due to financial constrains had made me to go smaller. This was to show and expresses the connectivity of individuals across the different platform. It symbolized the concept of karma and showing the different interpretation of everyone being different size and characteristics but yet still reaming the same throughout this one light. It was the continuation from my Final year exhibit as seen here http://www.behance.net/gallery/Karma-Vipaka/5306443
