Based in Trinidad and Tobago, Dean Arlen is an installation artist, working both in the studio while proposing urban and rural social/cooperative art design installation/projects for communities. His studio work is influenced by people within their urban and rural environments.—“The work is persuaded by a constructivist methodology using machine technology, traditional knowledge and a keen reading of the socio-political landscape.I see the canvas surface as sculpting, building upon prior knowledge, carving, peeling, tearing-down to re-articulate a modern folkloric philosophy. The texture comes from tattered, peeled, rusted walls, a bureaucracy of infrastructure that has merged old-school craft styles with a modern aesthetic didacticism. The subjects in my pieces are influenced by gender fluidity/urban/national discourse in a deliberate attempt to challenge toxic masculinity, neoliberalism, and neo-conservative nationalist discourses.”-Dean Arlen .Check out our booth on Artsy.
