December 27, 2016 – St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago. An Evening of Healing with Music – Vol. I will offer a holistic platform to nurture the soul through the arts on Wednesday December 28, 2016 in benefit of Martica Thomas’ medical care.  The inaugural fundraising production, which features stirring classical, jazz, soul, blues and Caribbean spirituals, has evolved to include an art exhibition by Dr. LeRoy Clarke, Fitzroy Hoyte Jr., Tessa Alexander, Richard Rampersad, Ihsan Atiba, Damien Leach and Dion Jacob.


Photo: “Eye say to you, young ebullient hearts, seek your Genius!  It is there, somewhere, stemmed in ungraspable longing to meet-up with you in seemingly unfathomable depths or, on ridges where none is shorter but rather being taller!  That terrible thing you seek is –Genius– is you, your very self, that extend with beaches of thorn and stone that seek a tongue that can sculpt you an ear that will recognise its identical voice!” – Dr. LeRoy Clarke.  Photo courtesy Dr. LeRoy Clarke.

Master artist, poet, lecturer, philosopher and Orisa Chief, Dr. Clarke, has graciously contributed the 2011 piece, We Are Here, of the Rituals III series, at a concessional price to benefit the cause by courtesy of De Legacy… House of El Tucuche Foundation.  Following Dr. Clarke’s contribution, estuary PR’s Managing Director shared, “I am deeply moved by Dr. Clarke’s act of kindness.  It is an honour and a blessing to have the energy and brilliance of his work permeate this event.  We Are Here is an affirmation of the resilience of human nature as we rise through the challenges of life to see ourselves anew and lay claim to our Divine inheritance.  In it, I see Mother Earth embodied in the woman.”

The art exhibition will offer an array of still life and abstract interpretations, figurative paintings and photography.  Hoyte takes responsibility in his creative practice to raise awareness with thought-provoking abstract depictions that strive to capture the spiritual realm. Presenting a fresh perspective, Alexander invites the observer to look at elements of humanity that are mundane or perceived as ugly.  Rampersad provokes viewers into a space of speculation with his unorthodox rendering of subject matter that supersedes natural accuracy.  Illustrator and poet, Atiba, creates still life and abstract interpretations of the human body expressing the quality of its movement often blending his writing into his artwork.  Multidimensional photography artist, Leach, draws on the Tobago landscape and the creative process of the Tobago artist as his inspiration.
