From lipstick-wearing gangsters, to young black men with bleached faces. Ebony G. Patterson's art tells the untold stories of Jamaica, by skipping the Bob Marley and coconuts part, and focusing on controversial shifts in Jamaican street culture instead. The Jamaican's work has earned her numerous awards, among which the Prime Minister?s Youth Awards for Excellence in Art and Culture, the highest award a young individual can receive in the arts, on the island of Jamaica.
Looking primarily to dancehall culture, which surrounds a genre of Jamaican popular music that originated in the late 1960s, and its impact on Jamaica?s working class, Patterson?s artwork is very much an investigation of the ways in which young black men shape their identities within the subculture.
