Ainsley Burrows: Multidisciplinary Artist from Kingston, Jamaica
In this episode, I sit down with Ainsley Burrows, a multidisciplinary artist originally from Kingston, Jamaica, and now based in Baltimore. Ainsley’s groundbreaking methodologies, including NeoChaos and Raktism, have established him as a powerful voice in abstract art. During our conversation, Ainsley shared how he channels untold stories and emotions through various mediums—poetry, music, performance, and painting. Starting his journey as a self-taught artist in 2009, he began working with acrylics and developed his unique visual language through dedicated practice and research. Ainsley’s artistic roots lie in his success as a poet and novelist, and his literary foundation continues to influence his abstract works. He fully immersed himself in painting during the pandemic, leading to his first solo exhibition in 2022. His work has since been featured in exhibitions across the U.S. and is held in several private collections.
The Third Future: A Self-Portrait - Ainsley Burrows Solo Exhibition
Part of the Peak Artists Exhibition Series at The Top Of The World Observation Level's Gallery In The Sky, "The Third Future: A Self-Portrait" features Burrows’ latest body of work. This exhibition, which opened on September 12 and runs through November 18, explores the concept of the 'Third Future,' a limitless realm of creative possibility where Burrows captures the essence of his experiences through abstract portraiture. The exhibition reflects his belief that art can serve as a voice for those who are often overlooked or silenced, advocating for the 'small man' and those who rarely find representation in high spaces. Be sure to check it out at the 27th floor of Baltimore's World Trade Center.
