Kartel Brown

Kartel Brown is a multidisciplinary artist known for their dynamic fusion of contemporary visual languages and explorations of cultural identity. Raised between Kingston and London, Brown’s work draws heavily on the vibrant iconography and social currents of the Caribbean diaspora, melding painting, sculpture, and digital media into vivid narratives about memory, migration, and resilience. Frequently experimenting with unconventional materials and bold color palettes, Brown’s art oscillates between abstraction and figuration, resulting in pieces that pulse with energy and emotional resonance.

Since graduating from Central Saint Martins, Brown has exhibited internationally, with installations featured in London, New York, and Accra, garnering critical acclaim for their innovative approach and unflinching engagement with themes of displacement, ancestry, and belonging. Brown continues to interrogate the intersections of race, history, and popular culture, forging a distinct voice that is as experimental as it is evocative.
