Inspired
 by the murals of Carl Abrahams lining the departures lounge of Kingston
 Jamaica’s Norman Manley International Airport, Hurvin Anderson presents
 a new, sixteen-panel, monumental painting in his first solo show at 
Pérez Art Museum Miami.
Mining the space between abstraction and representation in painting, 
Anderson creates art that is at once steeped in history but also acutely
 contemporary. Born in Birmingham, England to Jamaican parents of the 
Windrush Generation, a graduate of the Royal College of Art in London, 
Anderson’s paintings are grounded in the universal spaces and visual 
archive of the landscape tradition so much a part of the history of 
modern western art. Yet, as is demonstrated here, he is also an explorer
 of what those histories mean in the African diaspora and, more 
specifically, within the cultural and social traditions of the 
Caribbean.
In 2022, Anderson participated in the Kingston Biennial. While working 
on that project, he traveled to and from Jamaica through Miami; coming 
face-to-face with the two murals Abrahams painted on Jamaican history 
for the airport in 1985. During this time, Abrahams’s murals began 
resonating with Anderson in a different way. Reflecting on the 
importance of Jamaican history, and the rich history of the Caribbean as
 a whole, Anderson began working on ideas for this show while taking 
these trips. Thinking of what these historical murals mean for 
immigration, but also as a point of entry and departure for tourism, 
Anderson developed this new sixteen-panel painting.
