In hopes of raising awareness about three-dimensional (3D) painting, artists Conrad Meertins and Winston Alexander recently launched an exhibition which features unique renderings of Guyana’s historical buildings and places of interest.
The art exhibition began on December 15 and will run until January 21 at the Guyana Education Trust College’s Courtyard on Carmichael Street, in Georgetown.
Meertins, a former pilot, told this newspaper that he recently decided to form an Academy of the Arts, which will be launched after the exhibition has concluded. He said that persons wishing to join the academy will be educated in fine arts, craft, dance, music and drama.
He noted that the purpose of the exhibition is to raise more awareness about 3D paintings and also to inform people about the academy. He noted that most of his artwork is based on places that he has seen in Guyana during his time as a pilot.
He noted that while he hadn’t done much paintings over the years, he never stopped and now that he has the time he is hoping to impart his knowledge of 3D painting to younger artists.
Persons wishing to view the exhibition can do so from 10.30 am to 7.30 pm each day until the exhibition wraps.
