Che Lovelace chats with us on his journey as an artist and love for surfing and carnival

Che Lovelace was born 1969 in San Fernando, Trinidad and grew up in the east coast village of Matura. He attended Queen’s Royal Collage, Port of Spain and received his fine art training at l’Ecole Régionale des Beaux-Arts de la Martinique. He has been a founder and principal collaborator for several Arts, Carnival and entertainment projects including, the recently established Friends For The Road J’Ouvert, Studiofilmclub and Selectors, a collaborative music project.

Lovelace is an annual masquerader with a traditional Blue Devil band from Paramin called Kings Of The Hill.

His practice increasingly includes elements of performance which he absorbs into his painting process.
