Kemar Wynter is an artist who draws from his Caribbean diasporic experience in New York to create vibrant abstractions of cultural and culinary influences.
His work combines coded references to items like clamshell takeaway containers, heraldic symbols, and saltire crosses, all inspired by his heritage. Exploring the ability of art, primarily using rich color, to evoke powerful sensory and emotional experience, he invites the viewer to connect with their cultural roots and memories.
