Jamaican artist Garfield Morgan has another exhibit in Canada. This time his work is on display at the Don Wheaton Family YMCA in Edmonton.  until October 31st. Titled “What Lies Beneath,” the show will be up until October 31st. Most of the work was done with recycled materials, fabric, and acrylics, and he has recently started using oil. Morgan says his work is meant to disrupt negative stereotypes of black people.

He hopes for any response as long as his work is not ignored. “Either be turned off or be turned on; be stimulated, or not be stimulated,” he says. “As long as you don’t ignore it, I’m fine.” Many of the pieces in this exhibition were also shown at the Work Art and Design Festival, the largest open-air free festival in North America.
