RIPE with Culture ROBERT THOMPSON, otherwise known as 'Kibo', and Phillip Supersad, recently returned from Mt. Vernon, New York where they both staged a successful joint exhibition. These two talented Jamaican artists, came together for "Caribbean Art, Ripe with Culture" a private showing and public exhibition. They presented their finest paintings and ceramics while sharing an evening of artistic expression at Ripe Kitchen and Bar, a popular Caribbean restaurant in Mt. Vernon, owned and operated by Jamaican culinary expert, Nigel Spence, formerly with TV Food Network. Robert 'Kibo' Thompson, a fine artist, painter and entrepreneur is the founder, CEO and Chief Creative Director of Getcaught Media, a full service communications company. His counterpart, Mrs. Claudia Doig, General Manager of Getcaught, was organiser of the entire exhibition and also promoter for both artists. His "First Culture Collection" is reminiscent of the colour of the African culture and reflects his fine sense of detail. Combined with a myriad of colours, there is an energy that exudes from his art. His bold, bright array of hues, set against heavy, medium and fine solid black lines vibrate with the rhythms of his ancestral forefathers. |
