Jay Golding is a Caribbean-American Autochthon mixed-media artist of Maroon descent. Golding’s practice explores themes related to indigenous heritage, migration, ancient mythology, and often engages the relationship between his Jamaican upbringing and African cultural ties. The subjects in his work range from depictions of masked figures and fictional characters to friends and relatives, typically accompanied by the use of a vibrant palette and emerging textures caused by paint mediums, recycled materials such as tissue paper, and other found elements.
