Lavar Munroe’s phantasmagorical mixed-media canvases channel the exotic ‘other’, in the U.S.-based Bahamian artist’s ongoing discourse on the 19th century ‘human zoo’ and contemporary cultural politics.  Munroe’s current activities include Double Play, a dual-artist exhibition at The National Art Gallery of the Bahamas (Nassau) and solo Where Heroes Lay at Art League of Houston (Houston TX). NOMAD Gallery (Brussels, booth A7) spotlights the up-and-comer at VOLTA NY 2015.
