Jason Bennett

Jason Bennett

Jason Bennett (b. 1974) is a multi-media artist known for abstract paintings and mixed-media collages exploring landscape and journey. Influenced by his mother, Bahamian painter Sue Bennett Williams, he studied at SCAD and later worked in artistic concrete construction. Now based in Seattle, he continues pushing contemporary Bahamian art. He explores landscape, movement, and transformation through abstract paintings and mixed-media collages. Influenced by topography and organic forms, his work reshapes geography through layered textures and fluid lines. With a background in artistic concrete construction, he merges structural and natural elements, reflecting his dual experiences in fine art and architecture. Jason Bennett has exhibited widely in The Bahamas, including True Grit (2023) with Angelika Wallace-Whitfield and Constant (2022), both at The Current: ECCHO. He has participated in multiple group exhibitions and contributed artistic concrete works to the Collins House renovation, bridging fine art and architectural influences in his practice.

Billy Gerard Frank

Billy Gérard Frank (b. 1974) is an artist and filmmaker whose work explores race, memory, exile, global politics, and queer decoloniality. His mixed-media works and films challenge dominant narratives, using speculation to suggest counter-histories. He has exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum, Butler Institute of American Art, Yale, and Frieze London. Representing Grenada at the 2019 and 2022 Venice Biennale, he is a 2024 Creative Capital awardee. Frank co-founded the Nova Frontier Film Festival & Lab and lectures at Yale. He studied studio art in New York and earned an MA in Filmmaking and Media Arts from The New School. Frank’s multidisciplinary practice explores themes of exile, migration, memory, and belonging. Through layered mixed-media works, he reworks imagery from archives, media, and ephemera to contest fixed histories and create new narratives that intertwine personal memory with broader socio-political contexts.
