Abstract art from Carriacou brothers

ST GEORGE’S, August 31, 2010 – They are self-taught artists whose paintings are finding customers as far away as the United States and England. But Kevin and Nicholas Noel, Carriacou-born brothers, are looking for that extra help to take their work to another level.

Kevin, 23, and his 20-year-old brother use the small income generated from sale to support themselves and four other siblings – two sisters and two brothers.

They currently operate from a home on Herbert Blaize Street, at the bottom of Cooper’s Hill, where their paintings are available for viewing and for sale. The work is also exhibited at Kalingo Beach Resort in Morne Rouge, St. George’s.

Kevin described his paintings as “abstract.’’ Some are the “definition of questions,’’ he said.

The young dreadlocked artist, who is a budding musician that frequents the studio of soca star, Lavaman, uses acrylic to paint on canvas. Kevin says he and his brother are in need of canvas, space for working and frames for their paintings.

“I also want to take schooling in oil painting,’’ confides Kevin, who has been painting professionally for about 18 months.

Kevin and Nicholas Noel can be contacted at 459-0935.
