In this episode, I sit down with Ainsley Burrows, a multidisciplinary artist originally from Kingston, Jamaica, now based in Baltimore. Ainsley Burrows's groundbreaking methodologies, including NeoChaos and Raktism, have established him as a powerful voice in abstract art. During our conversation, Ainsley Burrows 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, Ainsley Burrows began working with acrylics and developed his unique visual language through dedicated practice and research. His artistic roots lie in his success as a poet and novelist, and this literary foundation continues to influence his abstract works. Ainsley Burrows fully immersed himself in painting during the pandemic, leading to his first solo exhibition in 2022, with his work now featured in exhibitions across the U.S. and 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 Ainsley 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 Ainsley Burrows captures the essence of his experiences through abstract portraiture. This 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.
