SWEET GIRLS NO. 1 — LLANOR ALLEYNE

Llanor Alleyne is a Barbados-born, New York-raised mixed media artist whose work explores the transformation and transfiguration of female selfhood. Her practice breaks away from the conventional demands of modern collage-making by cutting, tearing, and layering originally created abstract paintings on various materials to examine female figurative presentation and the empathetic rapport women are often assumed to have with the natural world.

Alleyne's work has been widely exhibited in Barbados and throughout the United States, including at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art in New York, NY.
