A SHOWCASE that promotes Black artists concludes next week. Disrupt Space announced the launch of Shine Your Light at the start of 2024, a new exhibition of fine art prints showcasing the diverse work of talented Black artists. The exhibition opened at the St James’s Market Pavilion Space in the heart of London’s West End.

Featuring prints by artists Damel Carayol, Elicia McKenzie, Ibim Cookey, Lola Betiku, Nathan Bowen and Sovina Vernon-White, the exhibition offers thought-provoking and inspiring works across various mediums, from canvas to street art.

According to Paul Reid, Director of Disrupt Space: “We are proud to launch this collection of six displays to create this exhibition of affordable prints from incredible talent within the community.”

Shine Your Light aims to spark conversation through its diverse range of prints exploring unique themes and perspectives. By providing a platform for these emerging Black artists to connect with audiences, the exhibition continues Disrupt Space’s mission to showcase and support talented artists from the community.

The works on display are sure to provoke thought, stimulate the imagination and leave visitors with a renewed sense of possibility

The opening night was a vibrant celebration of the featured Artists and their powerful works. The exhibition will remain open to the public until March 8, giving visitors the opportunity to browse the different exhibits, learn about the artists’ inspirations, and purchase affordable open and limited-edition prints.

“We encourage everyone with an interest in art, an openness to new perspectives, and a desire to support talented emerging artists to attend Shine Your Light,” said Reid. “The works on display are sure to provoke thought, stimulate the imagination and leave visitors with a renewed sense of possibility.”

Karen Baines, Marketing Director at The Crown Estate which owns St James’s Market, said: “We are always looking to partner with passionate organisations that can provide our visitors with inspiring artwork. The Shine Your Light exhibition in St James’s Market is a great example of such an initiative and we’re excited for our visitors to enjoy the fantastic works on display.”
