Contemporary artist Josh Sessoms finds inspiration in\nAfrican and Caribbean culture and uses it to capture the mystery, dynamism and\npoetic nature of these rich customs.\n\n\n\n
\u201cSessoms uses the ethereal nature of imagery to infuse\nthematic and historical narratives with the realm of collective consciousness.\nThroughout his work references to ancient African-Caribbean cosmogony,\nmythology, spirituality and rituals are found,\u201d according to his website.\n\n\n\n
The artist wanted to inspire those within the African and Caribbean diasporas to \u201crevive their collective memories of divinity, royalty and cultural ingenuity.\u201d Many of his artworks are homages to African deities, ceremonial traditions while others include aspects of historical tales and divination. \n\n\n\n
