Caribbean Passion Haiti 1804

Solo show at Art Exchange Gallery / New Art Exchange. 2005
Date: 6 October, 2005 until 18 November, 2005

Kimathi Donkor’s work is characterised by the ways in which it confidently tackles key, dramatic, monumental moments of African diaspora history, but does so with a painterly preciseness that borders on aesthetic frugality. His subjects have ranged from the death of Mrs Cynthia Jarrett, and the response to it by sections of the community, through to the cataclysmic events that culminated in the liberation of Haiti at the beginning of the 19th century. The latter body of work was brought together for an exhibition Caribbean Passion Haiti 1804, 6 October - 18 November 2005, Art Exchange Gallery, Nottingham. The exhibition was announced as “a solo exhibition of epic oil paintings exploring the birth of a nation.”
