1-54 London 2025Booth W7 | TERN Gallery

TERN presents a group showcase with two Bahamian artists, ceramicist Anina Major and conceptual artist Blue Curry, along with two Jamaican painters, Leasho Johnson and Marisa Willoughby-Holland. All of whom are reflecting on relationship to landscape and ideas of home in differing modes. While Curry and Major both unpack the traditional viewpoints of our country—the stereotyping and flattening of culture from the lens of tourism—working in sculpture and installation, they approach the topic through very diverse material usage and show the broad range of artistic production from The Bahamas. With the more traditional medium of painting, Willoughby-Holland and Johnson point our gaze to the Jamaican landscape, contrasting the joyful image of the visitor to a more surreal dreamlike vision through Willoughby-Holland’s work, to Johnson’s sometimes threatening, sometimes playful understanding and experience of the Jamaican bush.
