Title: In Translation
Artist: Venetta Nicole
Artist Statement: This work continues my exploration of portraiture as a space to examine identity, memory,and the emotional realities of Black experience. Through expressive mark-making, layeredtextures, and distorted form, the painting resists fixed representation, instead capturingthe psychological presence of the subject. The figure’s direct gaze creates an intimate confrontation with the viewer, challenging passive observation and inviting deeper reflection on visibility, humanity, and perception.

Artist Bio
Venetta Nicole is a London-based Caribbean artist working across painting and sculpture. Through abstraction, she explores identity, emotion, and human connection using colour, texture, and form.
Influenced by Bauhaus, Brutalism, and architecture, her sculptural works use layered wood constructions to investigate structure, pattern, and space. In 2022, she won the Women in Art Prize Susan Angoy Award and was a finalist in the Dubel Art Prize in 2025. Following her debut solo exhibition in 2024, her work was collected by Tunji Akintokun and Kemide Lawson of Cottage Noir.
